Churchill JCR

Hiya. I just wanted to take the discussion away from the delete nomination for a moment, to avoid cluttering that up further.

I noticed on your recent posts that you appear to be questioning the rationale that myself and others are trying to follow in the discussion. No doubt you feel that you're banging your head against a wall in trying to make us understand! If I may explain a bit (and remember this is purely me speaking, I hold no bureaucratic role here, beyond being an active editor who wants to improve wikipedia):

• In a project like this you have to have guidelines for inclusion. One of the problems with allowing everyone to edit, is that everyone wants to edit! All of us have our own things that are important, and a point of view about different issues. To avoid wikipedia becoming (even more of) a battleground about what's right or wrong, what's important or not, there are some very basic guidelines. The principle ones are notability and reliability. These are fundamental to the operation of the encyclopedia. If you think there is something wrong with them then you can have that discussion on their talkpages to try and get them amended. However, there would have to be an incredibly strong reason for these guidelines to be ignored in any single case (so strong a reason that I cannot think of any examples). I haven't come across any discussion where the outcome has been to ignore those rules.
• In the article for deletion discussions (as in most debates about content) wikipedia works on a basis of consensus. Consensus isn't just a matter of voting. The closing admin generally takes account of the discussion, and those who have voted. For instance, a load of delete votes with no reasoning could be ignored, and also users who have had very little involvement outside the area in question may not be viewed in the same manner as a relatively uninvolved user.
• Editors are for the most part here because they want to make wikipedia better. While it might be frustrating that people disagree with you, they really are doing what they think is right.
• In the specific debate about Churchill JCR, all that has been asked is that reputable sources are provided to show that the JCR meets the notability guidelines given. There really isn't more to it than that. If you review the guidelines and think you have the sources that show it meets, all you have to do is provide links or references. You don't need to get into a long debate about why you think it is notable. If you have the sources to adequately show it then I would hope most editors would change their vote to a "Keep". Conversely, just because some sources are provided does not mean that notability is automatically established.

I hope this helps. If you want to ask any questions then feel free to ask me, or there are lots of avenues in the community portal for getting assistance. Quantpole (talk) 22:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Richard Henry Tizard

The article Richard Henry Tizard has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not the subject of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
