VfD tag removal

[edit]

== Article deletion ==

Please stop removing the deletion tag from [[PAGENAME]]. As a new Wikipedian, you likely aren't familiar with the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]. I encourage you to read it over. Please understand that if some people call an article you've written into question, they are ''not'' trying to attack you personally. It merely means that some Wikipedians aren't sure that it belongs in the Wikipedia. It is an invitation for you to briefly explain why the article should be included.

Removing the deletion message is not allowed, as it disrupts the deletion process. From the community's point of view, when you removed the message, you essentially thumbed your nose at the deletion policy. I realize that you probably don't mean to have that effect, so that's why I'm letting you know now. In any case, '''stop removing the tag, please'''. If the consensus is to keep the article, '''the notice will be removed by an administrator''' when the listing expires. Removing the message beforehand '''will not prevent the article from being considered for deletion'''.

Furthermore, removing the tag repeatedly is a form of disruptive [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]. Our policy is to block vandals from editing for 24 hours. Please do not make this necessary — simply leave the deletion message on the page for the time being. Instead, improve the article and defend it on the VfD discussion, keeping [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette|Wikiquette]] and [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] in mind. Regards, ~~~~
