Deletion tagging
[edit]I have removed many of the proposed deletion templates that you have placed because you have not supplied any explanation in the "concern=" field of why the articles should be deleted. It would be a good idea if you familiarised yourself a bit more with the way Wikipedia works before calling for articles to be deleted. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:29, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- How do I show my reason for deletion? DetroitSeattle (talk) 03:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- You can find the instructions by clicking on the blue words in my comment above, but, as I said above you need to get a bit more experience with the way Wikipedia works before proposing articles for deletion, especially at the rate that you were doing so the other day. It seems that you were proposing deletion based on the fact that the articles had an {{advert}} template on them, but the way to deal with such is issues is first to see if the promotional content can be reworded by editing, and only if that can't be done to propose deletion.

- Ok thank you for the help. As a long time reader and first time editor of Wikipedia, I am still new to this editing thing. I will go over more of the rules before I go into deletion. DetroitSeattle (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
