User talk:Geo Swan/Review/Asif Iqbal (Rochester, NY)

I started an article about Asif Iqbal (Rochester, NY) in October 2006.

User:Renata3 nominated it for deletion on December 2006.

User:Renata3 chose not to comply with the advice in the deletion policies that nominators should give article creators a heads-up when they nominate them for deletion. I didn't learn about this deletion until just half an hour ago. I am annoyed because, as several people pointed out in the {{afd}} there were multiple press references to this individual, spread over several years. And I frankly resent not being offered an opportunity to address the nominator's concerns.

I see this deletion as further confirmation that the heads-up should not be optional. It should be required that nominators always advise article creators and image uploaders, when they make a nomination. Geo Swan (talk) 04:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
