I believe that you are correct that there are many articles to be deleted. I request that you not attempt to delete them all in one day because I see no evidence that you have searched for notability or third party references. I and others in the Martial Arts Projects would be glad to help: could I suggest that we make a subpage from the Martial Arts Page, list the articles and methodically evaluate them ( at a rate of one a day, for example)?

When using AFD
Please refer to WP:AFDHOWTO to properly list a deletion discussion, so that everyone can see it, even if they don't happen across the article itself. This speeds up the deletion discussion process. Please also look at arguments to avoid. -Malkinann (talk) 08:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Please check all your recent AFDs to check that they comply with WP:AFDHOWTO so that the discussions can proceed properly. Thank you. -Malkinann (talk) 09:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
The old Voltron information you added that isn't there now
When reading the Voltron article, I checked to see what it was like when it was at its longest. You added in a lot of information which I felt interesting to read, but someone decided to edit out, probably do to the article's length, since that is usual the reason. If you wanted to add it back in, and anything else you come across that might be an interesting fact to someone, you can do so on a Wikia. Its owned by Wikipedia, but allows for far more content, without the fear of pointless deletion of things. I've worked on the Gantz one, restoring information deleted from the official Wikipedia article, and worked on editing a bit on the Marvel Comics one as well. Long articles with plenty of information, are common there. Dream Focus (talk) 16:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- I went ahead and created a wiki for it. Please contribute. I was thinking you'd be the one to start it, since you know more than me about it, but whatever. Its set up now. http://voltron.wikia.com/wiki/Voltron_Wiki Dream Focus (talk) 01:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Looking through various old versions of a wikipedia article, specifically once its off the first page of the article's history(it impossible to compare two edits from page one and page two), is rather difficult. Was there any information eliminated in the Plot Differences or Character sections, which I have not restored on the Voltron wiki? If so, please let me know. Dream Focus (talk) 15:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Merges
I have undone the additions of merge tags you placed on Once a Ranger, Day of the Dumpster, and Green with Evil because you chose the wrong merge directions and pages for those articles. Before you suggest to merge them, again, please go over WP:MERGE and the various guidelines they have in place there.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Categories
I think you got a little confused wit categorisation. The article of ICMLPO(U&S) is about an antirevisionist international, so the article should be in this category. The category of ICMLPO(U&S) categorises parties so it should be under parties in the category tree and not internationals since its contents are not internationals but parties. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:52, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
prods
The batch of He-man articles you nominated for deletion certainly do not seem to justify separate articles. By longstanding precedent, they can however be merged to the articles of the works, or another relevant article, as a list of characters with a sentence of identification for each, or an article for a group of comics. Per WP:BEFORE, this is considered preferable to deletion. Why not do the merges yourself? Otherwise I shall deprod and suggest the merge. . You could of course then take them to afd if you did not think them mergeable--the decision would probably be to merge, and it would be a great deal more trouble. Incidentally, when you nominate for deletion via prod or any other process, you need to say so in the edit summary. It should say at least "nominated for proposed deletion" . You also ought to notify the author of the article. A notice to be copied is built into the template that appears on the article. DGG ( talk ) 16:02, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
dePRODing of articles
Hello Dwanyewest, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD templates you added to a number of articles were removed:
- PROD removed from Blade (Masters of the Universe), by User:Colonel Warden, with summary '(- tag)'
- PROD removed from List of Masters of the Universe vehicles, by User:Colonel Warden, with summary '(- tag)'
Please consider discussing your concerns with the relevant users before pursuing deletion further. If you still think the articles should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may send them to WP:AfD for community discussion. Thank you - SDPatrolBot (talk) (Learn how to opt out of these messages) 20:25, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
October 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--Orangesodakid 18:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
AfDing articles
Please follow the process for deleting articles -- especially using the correct afd2 and afd3 templates on the AfD discussion page and the day's deletion log, respectively. --EEMIV (talk) 23:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have completed the process for the Masters of the Universe vehicles. Improperly/incompletely-listed AfDs will likely be closed without deletion. --EEMIV (talk) 23:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Dwanyewest! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 941 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Vaniity - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 21:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Citing references in articles.
Thank you for attempting to add references to articles. Please take some time to look over WP:CITE and especially WP:CIT on proper ways to cite references (the second link has citation templates to use in articles). Properly citing references will allow them to automatically be listed in the references section at the end of the article with all of the needed information (title, URL, author, publish date, access date, publisher, etc). Thanks again. --TreyGeek (talk) 14:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
What if....
Please review this diff. I have admiration for your early work on the article. But now that this has become THIS, I think a title change might better reflect that the film is in production hell and yet best serve Wikipedia, as it is the ongoing problems that have caused the topic to meet WP:N. If or when the film is ever released, we can work toward incorporating some of the current content into Imagi_Animation_Studios#Setbacks and then return an expanded and sourced article about the film itself to a name reflecting its (then) release date... whatever that might ever be. Sensible? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Prod of Amateur Martial Assoc
I completely agree that the article fails notability, but we can't PROD it because it was already nominated for AfD. [1]. I nominated it before and not a single one of those things that the 2 editors who voted to keep used at the AfD has been added. I'd happily support another AfD, but I had to remove the prod. Sorry. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:42, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Correctly nominating at AfD
I see someone else has notified you about this already. Please ensure you follow all 3 steps when listing articles at AfD, specifically using the {{afd2}}
template when creating the deletion discussion (step 2) and listing the article on the AfD log (step 3). —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Alternatively, if you use Firefox, Chrome, or Safari as your web browser, you can use Twinkle for future AfD nominations, which automatically does all the steps; all you need to do is type up a rationale and select a category. —KuyaBriBriTalk 18:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
