Proposed deletion of Antique Ceramics[edit]

The article Antique Ceramics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is NOT a "how-to" website

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. WuhWuzDat 14:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

September 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Antique furniture, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. WuhWuzDat 14:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 Antique Ceramics. 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. WuhWuzDat 14:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
