335:: If you shake it enough, eventually you will get the answer you want. And the policy you quote is for CATEGORIES, and not a valid reason for nominating an article for deletion. It says to avoid categories that are small because of the load it puts on the servers and lack of utility. My objection isn't about the article, it is about the method of repeatedly nominating the article, and by an SPA (and maybe sockpuppet) to boot. If you are looking for an apology, you are underestimating the intellegence of the community when it comes to detecting
393:
WP:OC#SMALL only applies to categories, then I withdraw the complaint; but my reading of the policy was that it applied to everything. So, if that really is the case, you might want to make that clearer too. Finally, since you seem to think I'm only here to cause trouble, please block me, as it seems
312:
The
Cockblock topic is very limited, being a slang term that might justify an extended dictionary entry at best. I cannot see the entry being more than a reference to one book and a couple of magazines, so WP:OC#SMALL says articles which are "Small with no potential for growth" should be proposed for

As to your other criticisms, Knowledge (XXG) is a steep learning curve - so where it says make a summary, and sign comments with 4~s, that makes perfect sense to me. Where I have to read five separate articles to mark something for deletion, and then edit three pages in a language nearly as complex
370:
I wasn't here three weeks ago; and I think that you are very trigger happy with your accusations. However, my opinion is that
Knowledge (XXG) would be better served by condensing colloquialisms into an article detailing the most common examples; otherwise you might as well create articles for every

What exactly is the criteria to delete you are proposing? Being small isn't a valid reason. Having a fixed number of 3rd party sources isn't either. Having no potential to grow isn't listed as a valid reason for a normal sized article. It almost looks like you
160:
The article is "Small with no potential for growth", and has no chance of being expanded past a few mentions in magazines. Anything worth keeping could be moved to a page about the community mentioned in the entry, since that seems the main focus of the article.
408:
MY problem (I speak for only me) is that I doubt you are who you say you are. And you aren't contributing, you are trying to delete only since starting your account. If I'm wrong and you are truly a "new user", then sorry, but I doubt it.
343:
no longer applies, as you seem to know how to use
Knowledge (XXG) tools perfectly when it serves your purposes (perfect summarys, using 4~s), but make "mistakes" when it also serves your purposes. Sorry, I don't buy it.

and using that as a reason to delete, which isn't valid. This article has gone to AFD 3 times in 3 weeks. I am hoping that your recent creation of that account, the spa (single purpose account) isn't a way to

This is the third AFD in three weeks. Many of us experienced editors consider this an abuse worthy of being blocked. This type of action is exactly why I wrote the essay, when people treat AFD like a
