Speedy deletion of Troy Ramirez[edit]

A tag has been placed on Troy Ramirez, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 20:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ur funny. I left a message for you on my talkpage. Have a great day. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree -- your comments on Keeper's talk page are disgraceful! I've had many things challenged -- you have to go with the flow, buddy.DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 20:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A message to you from another Wikipedian...[edit]

"It's actually funny you should ask that -- no, I am not his lawyer. I am not even his dentist! In fact, I wrote an article that some people might have thought was about a subject who is not notable enough to have his own article, and Keeper is part of the ad hoc team that is challenging the article's right to exist. Had I taken your attitude, I would have lost all credibility. But I appreciate my privilage to write/edit and be appreciated as a writer/editor on Wikipedia more than I hold fast to some false notion of my infallibility or immunity to criticism. So, my article is not being deleted for the time being, and as I can garner more support through written persuasion and increased text and source citation in the article in question, not only am I confident that the article will be accepted as a Wikipedia article for all to read and educate themselves, I will have maintained -- nay, enhanced -- my credibility as a writer/editor for having showed restraint when restraint was indicated and for defending myself with the accepted tools of defense. What you have done, my friend (and I mean that in earnest), was entered the boxing ring, shot your opponent with a concealed hand gun, and went on to proclaim yourself the champion. No one should or will respect that as a win -- including you. If I were you, I would take some time to reflect on your actions and apologize to Keeper. Then, go on to become a tremendous contributor to Wikipedia, both in content as well as attitude. One day, you'll meet some hothead and you can settle an argument by telling him that you began Wikipedia by telling someone you would throw a brick at them -- but that you changed for the better. Then he'll go on to do the same, and we'll eventually have a greater team bent on improving Wikipedia as a source of information, properly cited and procured, and we can leave the bricks to the contractors and the basketball players. :) DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 21:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)"[reply]

Ha...that's hardly my life story -- it merely covered 15 minutes. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 15:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
