Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Dragon Tails

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why was this made a speedy deletion? Less than an hour gives hardly anyone a chance to even respond. Actually, it looks like the deleter waited for the first response that agreed with him, then went ahead. This is HARDLY democratic! Some of us do not spend all our lives on this one location, or on the web at all. I cannot spend all day working on a page. And then "until the issue is settled"? Where is there a forum to "Settle this isssue" when EVERYTHING is deleted or protected? Why the hostility towards the webcomic? It's not a conflict, it's a redirect for a MISPELLING of the animated show! And I put up a disambugation page to resolve any mistake! CFLeon 19:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I protected the redirect, but only after the AFD was closed by an independant admin with a "redirect" result. The problem is that the web-comic does not meet the requirements at WP:WEB. Or at the least shows no evidence of meeting such. It shows no sign of being notable. There's no point in a disambiguation unless this can be shown. We do not disambig to non-articles in general. I would gladly place a version of the article in your user-space for you to work on, if you beleive that you can find multiple reliable, independant, non-trivial references to establish the comic's notability. Once the article meets these requirements, it could be moved back to the main article space. No real need for a disambig at that point. If the web-comic can be shown to be notable, then it can be placed at the existing name.

The article, as it stood, did not meet the criteria enough even avoid being Speedy deleted. But a redirect to a misspelling is better than nothing at that page, so it stands as a redirect until/unless it is shown to deserve it's own article.

The other option is to take the deletion/protection to WP:DRV and try to get things overturned there. - TexasAndroid 19:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
