Response

I see you have worked one these articles; but i also believe that these articles (both in their current state and their "potential" state) fall under scope of WP:DP. I intend to raise an AFD on them and just wanted you to know. I believe the two other articles laid out in the baseball pitcher template are identical in that respect. This might save you some time; of course, if the articles are kept then creating the new articles is certainly legitimate. You have put in some real genuine effort, so don't let this discourage you in the slightest.

Onto the meat, I've taken some time to look at a number of the articles and such that you've created recently. I think you've really done your best to add good content, so please don't take this as anything other than "that article just doesn't quite fit the mold". By the looks of your talk page you are clearly an accomplished editor and do some really great things. I would have loved to have incorporated the information from the various pitching articles into a main article, but again - i see the information as "opinion based" and not "encyclopedic". You and I (as i'm persuming you are a baseball fan) know darn well that nolan ryan was a "power pitcher", but that's a colloquialism that can be misleading to those not familiar with the sport. I certainly think there can be some mention of the different "strategies/styles/...." here on wiki, but it just doesn't seem to fit in this case. I've seen your recent edit to Ksy's talk page and I'm going to ask you once on the front end to not instigate things like that. These are legitimate concerns and are based on guidelines of wikipedia. You may not like my style, but i'm here to talk and here to do it in a friendly manner. Let's leave as much "personal" stuff as we can at the door. You have created a few other articles (take for example Home that i think are a just a bit off but don't need to be deleted. I would like to work with you on a discussion about merging a few of these articles. Certainly, anyone who wants to chime in is welcome. Let me know your thoughts. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  22:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Sorry to post here on your talk page, TonyTheTiger, but this is where the discussion is. You get pissed off way to easily, Jmfangio, and I know you're gonna get pissed off with this comment: the purpose of AfDs is so other people can come to discuss them. And what's the purpose of doing that if other people don't know it's been nominated for AfD? Additionally, TonyTheTiger knew it was an article that I've been interested in, and he's come to my help a couple times for these articles. So TonyTheTiger had every right to alert me of the AfD you created; you can't keep him from "instigating" things like this because he had every right to let me, someone who has been interested in editing the article you nominated, know that it was nominated for AfD. Ksy92003(talk) 23:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Again you fail to recognize what my words are communicating. He had every right to inform you... but the "guess who" comment creates an uncivil environment. Coming to my talk page and titling a section "Bad faith" does nothing to help. There are a handful of you who seem very close to many sports related articles; so much so that when someone from the outside disagrees with you - their personalities are addressed. It's unfortunate because that's exactly why WP:AGF and WP:NPA exist. It's unfortunate that this collective energy can't be used more on constructive edits. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  01:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC) I apologize for my guess who, but it just seemed that you might have been attempting to cause trouble after his talk page vote gave support for a no consensus as opposed to a merge and delete.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 01:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC) Accepted, I didn't even really look at that discussion - primarily because I am trying to avoid the two other active commentators. My best advice to anyone is that if we focus on content and not contributor, we're bound to get along just fine. I'm here to improve things and so are you - so let's take that and use our abilities to discuss (even if we don't agree). Onward and upward. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  01:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC) For the record, Jmfangio, when TtT said "guess who," I honestly didn't know who he was referring to. I didn't have a clue in my mind, nor did I have any reason to believe that it was you. Since you were the one who created the AfD, by reading that comment I could understand how you could be frustrated by reading that, being under the impression that I knew it was you. That's an issue that you need to resolve with him (and I see that you have). It caught me offguard that it was you, but I didn't know that until I went to the AfD page and saw that it was you. Because TtT said "guess who," I had thought that the AfD might've been started by somebody who was had a recent problematic conflict between both him and me, a category that you don't fall under. While you may disagree with how TtT sent me that comment, nothing he said gave me any impression that you, nor anybody else in particular for that manner, nominated the article for AfD. So please, don't be mad at TtT (I see that you have, again), because he didn't say anything to me that made me think it was you. Ksy92003(talk) 01:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC) Please stop posting here. You are not following my points at all and I really don't care about who said what to whom and on what date. All i care about is content discussion and that people don't chime in with chirpy comments that escalate an otherwise civil process. Nuff said. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  01:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC) What are you talking about? I only did what you asked. I was gonna reply at User talk:TonyTheTiger, but you said, and I quote, "If you want to refractor this conversation to my talk page, i'm fine with that." The last part says "I'm fine with that," so now you snap at me when I reply here, when you said you were fine with that? You know, I don't care what you think... you asked, I complied, and you have a problem with that. I don't see why you have a problem with this, and I don't really care anymore.
