AfD nomination of Derek Roddy

An editor has nominated Derek Roddy, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek Roddy and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Derek Roddy. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

I'm sorry for deleting the notice. I considered the discussion closed, as the article was extended, and there hasn't been any response for a while. I don't see any further reason for deleting this article, though it was a bit rash deleting the notice. Derek Roddy, though not well-known among a wide audience (but hey, Brutal Death Metal in general isn't either, nor is e.g. drummer Tim Yeung), is worthy of a Wikipedia page. I probably didn´t do it the right way, for which I am sorry. I´m still learning! ;-) Joost de Kleine (talk) 22:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it caused any huge problems. :) As I mentioned at the AfD, I suspected it was done with good intentions. PROD notices anyone can remove; speedy deletion notices anyone but the creator can remove; AfD notices are only removed by the person who closes the debate, who is typically an uninvolved administrator. The AfD is closed now, so it's all good. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
