Recent edit to Flexi Time Sheet‎

That was a very poor edit summary on my part; I had changed the formatting of the section and then went back and removed the link after typing in the summary. I should have left a pointer to the appropriate section of our external link guidelines; specifically, we avoid linking to a simple search results page. The surrounding text prompting people to do the search on their own felt a little too "how to guide" and less encyclopedic than is expected. Thank you for your patience; and I apologize for the poor form. If you need a better explanation; please let me know. Kuru ^talk 00:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Flexi Time Sheet

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Flexi Time Sheet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
