Please don't delete Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1

Please don't delete Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1. It's part of the GAN review process and as such is listed in the article history by a bot. Deleting it disrupts the GAN review process. Thanks! MathewTownsend (talk) 12:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Matthew, the GA review (Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1), wasn't deleted. An editor simply removed its transclusion into this page. That's what's normally done when a GA review is finished to free up space on the article's actual talk page. Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1 is now linked from the Article Milestones banner at the top of this page. I'm going to go ahead and remove the transclusion again.
