AfD nomination process
I noticed you added an AfD template to Evud. You need to do more than just add the template to complete the nomination. You can find complete instructions here. I completed this nomination for you, but you might find the link useful for future reference. --GraemeL (talk) 22:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link to the instructions! Thing is, they don't seem to work. Step #3 didn't turn out right when I tried to add an entry for Pms clan. Can you detect what I didn't do correctly? Mikeblas 05:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, you're getting confused between speedy delete and Articles for Deletion. If an article meets the criteria for speedy deletion, all you need to do is add the template and an admin will delete it if they agree with your reasoning. If it doesn't meet any of the speedy delete criteria, you need to go through the instructions I linked to submit it to AfD. --GraemeL (talk) 14:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Nice work by you and Woohookitty on this article, which I had tagged as speedy. At the same time, I tagged Madame Amberly, The Evil Twins, Evil Crash, and Ebeneezer Von Clutch, as it looked like the user was adding page after page of utter nonsense. I don't have a clue about this stuff, and it looks like gamecruft to me, but since you took the time to clean it up I suppose I'm wrong. So I'm guessing these are all related, and I will un-tag them, and if either of you have an interest, I'm sure you can add some context. thanks! bikeable (talk) 06:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for noticing! I'll touch-up the other categories... though I do agree the topics are cruft. I'm not sure why there needs to be a topic for every character in every ficticious work, but that's a bigger issue than I can solve! Mikeblas 06:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
