User:Freedomlinux/Blazers5505

This is an archive of an semi-private discussion between myself and WhisperToMe.
This series of events has concluded with the determination that I accidentally nominated the page Blazers5505 for deletion. While the page has since been deleted by other editors, I acknowledge my action in the history in the article.

Tagging for speedy deletion and the Virginia Tech ebay names

I noticed you saying "21:50, 22 April 2007 . . Freedomlinux (Talk | contribs | block) (43 bytes) (deletion -pointless)" - I want to show you this: Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Redirects

"# Redirects to nonexistent pages.

Redirects to the Talk:, User: or User talk: namespace from the article space (this does not include the Wikipedia shortcut pseudo-namespaces). If this was the result of a page move, consider waiting a day or two before deleting the redirect.
Redirects as a result of an implausible typo that were recently created. However, redirects from common misspellings or misnomers are generally useful, as are redirects in other languages."

Does that redirect fill either of these criteria? No (Not a typo, not implausible since Cho used this as his eBay ID)

That doesn't mean that you had no recourse against the redirect if you feel it was not useful, as that is what Redirects for discussion is for. WhisperToMe 02:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

This would never have happened if the redirect was not listed. I had to re-establish the redirect. WhisperToMe 19:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Can you view this?

It states: "21:50, 22 April 2007 . . Freedomlinux (Talk | contribs | block) (43 bytes) (deletion -pointless)"

While I do not agree with WhisperToMe in the slightest, I cannot dispute that fact that I did recommend the page for deletion. I consider this bordering on a personal attack, with WhisperToMe taking an unprofessional tone. I have since severed all communications with the user. I must also note that for any further action to occur on the page in dispute, other editors would have had to share my opinion. Freedomlinux 22:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
