Please search for references before wasting other editors' time. Cleverly choosing your words does not get you out of this. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:11, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain what steps you have taken to have WP:DEL-REASON#1 and WP:A7 withdrawn. If you haven't, then your words are inconsistent with your actions, so I'll ignore them. Kevin McE (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AFD nominations

Please read WP:BEFORE as well as WP:AFD, Editors are expected to do some searching before nomination which you clearly haven't done,
It's now bordering on disruptive editing and you will blocked for it which no one wants,
Anyway take a break & read all the relevant policies,
Cheers, –Davey2010 • (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

speedy deletion criteria make no such requirement. Kevin McE (talk) 17:25, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it was a speedy deletion candidate you could {db-a7} it and it would be deleted without trouble. If you did on those entries you nominated you'd find most admins would reject your tagging. When you take articles to AFD, clearly they're not speediable, and you have a responsibility as the nominator to check for sources and assess notability and abide by WP:BEFORE. Length doesn't matter, a notable subject will always be a notable subject. 85% of articles on wikipedia are short. Are we to delete every article purely because it's undeveloped? If you want an article expanded just ask. Please stop wasting everybody's time. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I used AfD because that is easily accessed via Twinkle: if you leap to assumptions about the reason I choose one route over another you are liable to assume incorrectly.

Did the Miguel Laurencena article make any claim about notability at the time I nominated it? Bearing in mind the answer to that, was it valid to challenge it under WP:A7? Given that, why was it not valid to challenge it at AfD? You seem determined to erect some sort of smokescreen around woefully inadequate articles, and to be pursuing me for stting that articles are in a stste that does not merit inclusion in the encyclopaedia over bringing them to such a standard.

Good work on Miguel Laurencena: shame it wasn't like that before I intervened. Kevin McE (talk) 18:06, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
