Hello,
would you mind explaining your additions of language tags, such as the one you performed at Luis de Narváez? They don't seem to do anything to the text, yet the size of the article increases dramatically, which is not good. Also, concerning the same article, why did you replace [[villancico]]s with [[villancico|villancicos]]? The link remains the same, but again, this increases the size of the article. I don't remember any MoS (or other) guidelines for these things.. -- Jashiin ( talk) 13:10, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Melville Davisson Post 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
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.

I have nominated Melville Davisson Post, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melville Davisson Post. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

It dawned on me just now that what you are proposing is a "Manual of style Guidline" addition. This actually could be made in a similar way to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles. This allows a broader consensus of the general community to make this change. This may be what you are looking for. Let me know. Good debate by the way. I don't agree of course but I will accept the consensus of the community and this may be a way to keep this from being overrode if the RFC does indeed move forward.-- Amadscientist ( talk) 00:31, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
@Amadscientist: that is a brilliant idea! thanks! i couldn't figure out how to address the issue, and decided to try an RFC on the Talk:Traditional_marriage page because i had raised the issue on the talk pages where the term had been used in the u.s.-specific context a few times, but even when i received positve feedback, the issue was soon lost in a flurry of other issues concerning the content and POV of the pages... moreover, every talk page for an article at wikipedia which i have ever visited which contains a reference to the southern poverty law center contains an RFC notice as to how the SPLC should be referenced when it opinion is cited... that -- coupled with the previous discussion on the "traditional marriage" page -- led me to conclude that the "traditional marriage" talk page might be the "best" place to raise the issue in a way that would achieve traction within the community...
i really do appreciate all of the effor you put into the debate, and i do know that the only reason you put so much thought, energy and effort into it is because you are a true and dedicated wikipedian, and a true and honest human being (the highest compliment i can hand out to a fellow homo sapien)...
i also really appreciate your not only suggesting the move to the manual of style, but also your suggestion that i use the baltic states-related articles discussion as a model...
by the way, i don't know the inspiration behind your wikimedia userid, but one of my favorite producer/dubmasters is the mad professor... my userid comes from the fact that (a) i am blind and (b) throughout my life, people have often referred to me using a certain twelve letter maternal epithet... many thanks -- i "look" forward to working with you in the future and continuing to learn from your contributions to the community oedipus ( talk) 01:19, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
