The article Peter Mandel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
The page has also been left in a messy state. I hope you will return to editing Wikipedia, but please learn more of the standard formatting methods, e.g. from WP:CHEAT and WP:CITE. – Fayenatic L ondon 10:05, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

welcome. I'm sorry you got jumped on your maiden effort editing Wikipedia. editing pages is really that hard, it just takes a little while to get the knack. I could with that User:Fayenatic london had spent a little time walking you through the necessary edits, instead of taking a page on a patently notable writer to AFD, but, well, it's how things work here. Please don't be discouraged. There are user-friendly links to how to edit atop your talk page. And I do hope you'll stick around, lots of pages on topics you know/care care about need attention. (I assert this with confidence, since we have so many pages in need of attention) E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)::Tip. an easy way to learn to edit is to look at pages similar to the one you are working on , writer's pages. copy the format, code used to your edits on this page. Also, add some information to those pages, with sources, as a way of getting used to the process. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
