You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

How does X work?

{{helpme}} I am trying to improve my article, will references stop the deletion process? Traci K Houghton. --Tkhoughton (talk) 03:29, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What article is it?--Cubs197 (talk) 03:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, I stopped the PROD (proposed deletion) process on your behalf. What you need to do is demonstrate that the procedure is notable. Yes, references would be absolutely beneficial to improve the article. References from the author or originator of the process are less desirable than peer reviewed scientific journals. WP:RS talks about this in more details. Jclemens (talk) 03:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am trying to add the references now, however, I am not savvy to Wikipedia's format. I will do my best, any suggestions?

Read your welcome, that will probably help you out. :) --Cubs197 (talk) 04:09, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

talk - Please help. The information I created and enter has been completely deleted from the main page (hemorrhoids). How could this happen and how do I get it back?
