Created in error - typographical mistake, was meant to be a category. Apologies. Cnbrb ( talk) 12:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. This should not have an AFD. AFD is for when community discussion is required. Just a simply speedy-deletion request is all that is needed, i.e. you should have just used template:delete on the article, i.e. just put {{db}} there. In fact during the four minutes from mistaken creation to when AFD was opened, a speedy-deletion request was put in by somebody else. -- Doncram ( talk) 12:45, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- I tried the speedy delete button but it had a list of reasons that didn't match. Don't blame me, blame the Twinkle interface. Now, please just be helpful instead and delete the article. Thank you.

- Don't use Twinkle then. Your request is to have a full community discussion by AFD. Could you please withdraw your request. If there are not opposing votes, a deletion nominator is allowed to close an AFD by withdrawing it. Please read up about how to do so, probably at
wp:AFD if necessary. You are wasting other people's time, not me. And by the way i am not an admin so I cannot complete the speedy deletion request. --

- Right, the article creation was very obviously a typographical error and I clearly attempted to make a good faith fix. I could with less of your rudeness and nit-picking about procedure. Nobody asked you to comment here, so if you've got nothing constructive to contribute here then I suggest you move on and do something else. Cnbrb ( talk) 13:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. If there's going to be an AFD, i vote "delete" as requested, it is not an encyclopedic topic. -- Doncram ( talk) 12:45, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
