Deletion avertion negotiation

"Avertion" probably isn't a word. Anyway. You tried to delete an established article, Mermaid problem, and were promptly contested.

In the event that you're going to pursue this further, please detail your grievances with it first so that I (or you, for that matter) can attempt to address them. I've come to think of AfD as a blunt and inaccurate cudgel that should be wielded with reluctance and is often used with glee. The best outcome here would be not needing to use it.

The fact that the article's topic is deranged does not speak against it. Even the best of editors can be surprised by the availability of valid material on insane subjects. For instance, I need to start an article on pencil chewing. It turns out that there are pencil guards for autistic children, there was a lot of noise about chewing pencils coated with lead paint a few decades back, and there's documentation of associated dental problems and trauma cases with case studies et al. --Kizor 08:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sarah Palin

First, let me say I love your username. Second, do not prematurely archive Talk:Sarah Palin again. There is a bot to prevent any drama or arguments over what to archive, when, and why. I have restored the notice you removed, in the hopes that it will remind editors that the article is under probation and that "Very little leeway is allowed" in following the rules. Please excuse that I am adding a templated message to this; I wish it to be clear that this is notification of the probation. This is not meant to be accusatory or hostile; merely ensuring you are aware.

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Sarah Palin, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Sarah Palin/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 11:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
