Proposed deletion of Lady Sterling (horse)[edit]

Hello, Random Effort. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Lady Sterling (horse), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sterling (horse)[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sterling (horse) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a specific animal, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Safiel (talk) 22:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

April 2013[edit]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Safiel (talk) 22:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Horse articles[edit]

You may be a little confused by all the automated deletion notices on this page. What has happened is that Lear's Princess, Lady Sterling (horse) and Sterling (horse) were deleted under the WP:Criteria for speedy deletion. I have undeleted the last of those articles so that it can be debated as notified above. Please take part in that debate and explain your edits. Spinning Spark 00:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removing AfD template[edit]

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 Sterling (horse). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot t • c » 01:03, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Random, I have tried to help you by undeleting one of your deleted articles so a debate can take place. Please do not make me regret doing that. You will not save the article by removing the tag, just the opposite. Please take part in the discussion by following this link. By the way, are you User:Rayburne1997 or User:Harlow1937?

April 2013[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Odd-toed ungulate‎‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 18:04, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Quagga, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Mr Fink (talk) 18:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting evolution sections from articles solely because they offend your religious sensibilities is not a valid justification at all to engage in vandalism.--Mr Fink (talk) 20:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mind you, I am not saying you can not edit at Wikipedia for not agreeing with Evolution(ary Biology): I am only warning you that if you continue deleting evolution sections from articles, you will risk being blocked or banned. I have warned many other vandals who thought they could score brownie points with Jesus by vandalizing articles, only for them to be blocked for continuing in their misbehavior.--Mr Fink (talk) 20:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
