New Hampshire Confession of Faith

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. --Anthony.bradbury 22:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sir; as you contest my labelling your article for deletion, I have put it to the Wiki community for a decision. Please go to your article to find out how to proceed. I must point out, and please forgive me if you know this or find it offensive, that deletion of this tag before the decision is reached is regarded as serious vandalism.--Anthony.bradbury 23:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sir; your statement is not wholly accurate. I originally put a "subst:prod" flag on the article, which I did not replace on its removal. Rather, when you contested, I then inserted an {{AfD}} template, which invites opinions from the Wiki community. If the concensus is in favour of retention of the article, clearly I shall not contest this decision. An accusation of bad faith is inappropriate.--Anthony.bradbury 14:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
