==Help regarding page deletion process==
Cntras, I came across the article [[Teamwork PM]]
I think it does not meet Wikipedia notability standards.
I looked at the editing history, when the article was written it was nominated for speedy deletion but the original author simply removed the deletion tag.
I'd appreciate some explanations on how this is possible and how the process works.
Thanks! <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Guy.other|Guy.other]] ([[User talk:Guy.other|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Guy.other|contribs]]) 09:30, 24 June 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Hi Guy.other. As you're probably aware, users cannot remove speedy deletion templates from their own page. So with this in mind, you could restore the G11 tag. However, a better option would be to nominate it for deletion via [[WP:PROD|PROD]] or [[WP:AFD|AfD]]. -[[User:Cntras|Cntras]] ([[User talk:Cntras#top|talk]]) 11:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks for the quick reply and the useful links. That's what I thought and being new to Wikipedia editing, this is why I'm asking. I might be missing something but when I look at the page editing history I see someone added the speedy deletion request:
::13:39, 22 April 2010‎ Xtzou (talk | contribs)‎ . . (1,386 bytes) (+12)‎ . . (Requesting speedy deletion (CSD G11). (TW)) (undo)
::Then the original author removes it after a few minutes:
::13:46, 22 April 2010‎ Mercuryfrost (talk | contribs)‎ . . (1,396 bytes) (+10)‎ . . (undo)
::14:44, 22 April 2010‎ Mercuryfrost (talk | contribs)‎ . . (1,375 bytes) (-21)‎ . . (undo)
::I thought that in the process of deletion the notability is discussed somewhere but I couldn't find any information in the article Talk page. Can I see somewhere why the article was eventually not deleted and what led to this decision? I tried finding it on the "Search current and archived AfD discussions" but couldn't find it.
::I would also appreciate your thoughts, Do you think this article is actually notable? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Guy.other|Guy.other]] ([[User talk:Guy.other|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Guy.other|contribs]]) 13:50, 24 June 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:::You may have confused CSD with the AFD. For CSD, an article is deleted on the discretion of the reviewing administrator. There is no discussion because it is essentially a 'quick fail' procedure for (generally) non-contentious deletions. AFD on the other hand is mediated via discussions of notability and other relevant policies. As for the notability of Teamwork PM, you could probably argue that it fails [[WP:GNG]]. -[[User:Cntras|Cntras]] ([[User talk:Cntras#top|talk]]) 14:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the help. I tried following the guide "How to nominate a single page for deletion" on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion. I managed to complete steps I and II but I'm not able to complete III. I tried following the steps, adding the line "subst:afd1 | pg=Teamwork PM" (with double "{") at the top of the list and writing "Adding [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teamwork PM]]" in the edit summary but it doesn't expand correctly. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Guy.other|Guy.other]] ([[User talk:Guy.other|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Guy.other|contribs]]) 13:51, 25 June 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi Cntras. I appreciate your feedback. I will add additional information such as an article that was published in the miami herald. It may take some time as I am new to this process. Please note that I have read through the guidelines and am doing my best to comply. My main purpose for doing this is the following. Ono is to help spread the word and show the world that art can heal and the other is to help alleviate the pain and suffering of the masses by showing them cost effective ways to survive and save our environment at the same time. Therefore, there is no "puffery" in my bio. I am self effacing and do not have an ego. Through bridging humanity I am starting to submit proposals for humanitarian projects. By the way, bridging humanity is strictly a volunteer based non profit. All money raised goes to support the less fortunate and is not used for salaries, administrative or operating costs. This bio is not meant to raise money. It is meant to help share information with people who may want to learn more about what I am doing when fact finding is required. I wanted you to know this so you can further help me to streamline this project. Lastly, you may want to check my website www.bridging-humanity.org so you can have a better understanding what we do. Please feel free to let me know what other information would be useful to strengthen the sources section. Thank you Cntras! <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tinacornely|Tinacornely]] ([[User talk:Tinacornely|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tinacornely|contribs]]) 14:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hello Cntras. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of [[:Loaded Boards]], a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''Credible claim invalidates CSD A7.

== Thank you for your message ==

Indeed, it was very helpful. I added a cite that includes a link to a miami herald article that included Death by a Thousand Cuts on the cover. I have a scanned copy of the article which includes a picture of me next to the sculpture. I am not sure if this scan can be included (can it?). I have weighed in on some of the comments you made and was tempted to remove the section about the art piece altogether. But then I realized the article would appear weak and uninteresting. I suppose I could add cites on other philanthropic projects I have done over the years. There's the Art in Empty Spaces Exhibition I did to help fill empty store fronts in downtown Miami during art basel miami beach. Nothing in it for me other than trying to help my city and fellow struggling artists. This exhibition was picked up by the Art Road Show and they created video footage which could be added via youtube. There's another artist I helped do a monumental wall mural that ended up getting us front page coverage in the herald and TV coverage as well on WLRN. I want you to understand that I am a self effacing person and I don't usually share this information so candidly. All the charity work I do to help others is about the people I help and not me. Having said that, my projects end up getting picked up by the media. In the end all I am trying to do is show the people who are interesting in helping me with Bridging Humanity to have a better understanding of my character. May I ask your thoughts about adding the above or should I just give up? Please let me know your honest thoughts and opinions as I value you them. Thank Cntras. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tinacornely|Tinacornely]] ([[User talk:Tinacornely|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tinacornely|contribs]]) 01:42, 25 July 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
