I'm sorry C Fred. I am just learning about the Wiki Way of things. I suppose it would have been better for my article submission if I'd spent some time in the sandbox. That's what I get for trying to come out here and wing it. Grrr! Miserable first effort too many mistakes. Quote me in the advise section for others in the helps and tutorials. Went to revert it but seems deletion nomination is back.(blushing) Rotsap ( talk) 07:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

First, remember that any user can edit in good faith. That includes tagging articles for maintenance or for deletion. One does not need to be an administrator to nominate an article for deletion, although only administrators can delete articles.
Second, remember that the core guidelines for articles are notability and verifiability. The subject of an article must be demonstrated to be significant/important enough to have an article about them, and the claims in the article, especially claims of notability, should be backed up by reliable sources. It is a little bit of a chicken-and-egg situation, as one of the definitions of notability is a subject that has gotten significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Significant coverage is a full story or large portion of one, and not just a passing mention or directory listing. Independent sources are ones not related to the subject. Writing by the subject, subject's company, subject's publisher, subject's family, or anybody else with a similar close relationship to the subject is not independent.
Finally, vandalism is defined in a nutshell as a bad-faith edit. Some vandalism is clear-cut, such as changing birthdates to nonsensical figures or writing blatant insults about the subject. If an edit is made in a bona fide attempt to improve an article, it's not vandalism. As a general rule, tagging articles for improvement is not vandalism; the exceptions would be clear, like tagging Stephen Harper's article with a {{ Notability}} template. — C.Fred ( talk) 06:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm still contesting that "Keep" should be the decision for DC Barah, Author's nomination for deletion for these reasons, which, I believe adequately address the issues raised:
If there is more I can do to make this article better please be so kind as to let me know. Rotsap ( talk) 07:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
