[edit] Proposed deletions

I reverted all your proposed deletions. If you feel there is something else called (for instance) No. 40 Line, feel free to make a disambiguation page like No. 1 Line. --NE2 05:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Please take only one there; it's easier for you and for the person who has to close it. --NE2 05:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion canvassing

Please read Wikipedia:Canvassing. --NE2 06:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. RfD is a consensual discussion so we want to figure out what the community wants not what a group of editors with a specific opinion want. --Iamunknown 06:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
On the issue of what forms of canvassing are acceptable, see also [[1]] which was a newsletter created and sent out on March 10, 2007 to a long list of about 190 editors including NE2who like articles about state highways, just as soon as two such articles were put up for deletion, including the dire warning:

Notability of state highways is challenged By Rschen7754 & Vishwin60 Three AFD nominations this week have become crucial towards the welfare of the over 5400+ U.S. road articles. With the accidental destruction of a long-standing precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents regarding the notability of state highways, some have decided to challenge the existence of the 5400+ U.S. road articles. The debates began when County Route 66 (Dutchess County, New York) and Minnesota State Highway 127 were nominated for deletion. The precedent of the notability of highway articles was mentioned, but some refused it, challenging the justice of this precedent. Furthermore, some questioned the legitimacy of having all of the state highway articles on Wikipedia. After Pennsylvania Route 999 was mentioned in a debate, a user nominated it for deletion, possibly to serve as a WP:POINT. At this stage, the same user stated an intention to delete all 5400+ road articles. When California State Route 37 was mentioned, it was nominated for deletion by this same user, ignoring the fact that the article is a good article. This last nomination was quickly closed as a speedy keep. Currently, the AFDs are showing a consensus to keep. However, dangerous precedents could be set here that could result in drastic catastrophe for the U.S. Roads articles. Your voice is needed to ensure that our highway articles are not deleted and can be maintained for the benefit of all.

NE2 is a member of the USRD project and received said newsletter on March 10, 2007, without objecting to the vote canvassing. Edison 13:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
So? Revert canvassing on sight next time. I don't see why you feel compelled to cross post this everywhere. --Iamunknown 19:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
