*You should at least try to find sources before nominating things. As many of the articles you nominate end in keep, that should tell you that you are doing something wrong, and should stop it.

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)
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)
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)
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)

I seconded another of yours. I'm also cleaning up the list of martial arts. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
S.C.A.R.S. (military)
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from S.C.A.R.S. (military), which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Janggeom (talk) 02:12, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Gayong Malaysia
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Gayong Malaysia, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Massive number of PRODs and AFDs
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)? Thanks! jmcw (talk) 10:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Dwanyewest, I was going to write something similar to what jmcw has written, but he did it first. I appreciate the effort you are putting into trying to clean things up (and I have seconded a couple of your proposed deletions) but, like jmcw, my impression is that you might need to put more effort into checking for sources before proposing articles for deletion. I notice that you have been working on several martial arts articles (and have been posting on the WPMA discussion page) recently, but are not a member of WPMA yet. If you have a strong interest in martial arts articles, as seems to be the case, I would like to invite you to join WPMA. Janggeom (talk) 14:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- I concur--please do a check for sources prior to nominating an article for deletion or PRODding it. AfD is not for article improvement. JJL (talk) 15:44, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- You're doing a great job Danyewest, please do not feel intimidated by others just because they disagree with your listing(s) of non-notable subjects for deletion. It appears they should be deleted. JBsupreme (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Meteorbs
Hi, you just nominated Meteorbs at AfD but blanked the discussion page shortly after, I'm guessing due to a malformed nomination. If your intent was to withdraw the nomination, please explicitly state so on the discussion and if there are no outstanding delete !votes, an admin or a user familiar with WP:NAC will close the discussion. Thanks! —KuyaBriBriTalk 19:45, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Tagging of Leslie Hutchison
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Leslie Hutchison. I do not think that Leslie Hutchison fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "8th Dan ITF TaeKwon-Do Master " is a claim of significance, as is "holds presidency of the British Isles TaeKwon-Do Federation"). I request that you consider not re-tagging Leslie Hutchison for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 05:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
