Removed speedy deletion tag: Mow (Card Game)[edit]

Hi Dferrantino! Firstly, thanks for helping out in CSD areas. I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Mow (Card Game)- because: the page is not an attack page or negative unsourced BLP If you have any questions or other message, please contact me. Thanks Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there again :). And no problem regarding the redirect. Yeah, I was pretty sure the association was completely made up, and was planning to remove it (before finding the "proper" Mao article). But as I've actually played the game, and a lot of people I know know about it, I decided at least some of the article was worth keeping. If in future you come across an article were just a little bit of it is inappropriate, then I'd suggest just removing the inappropriate content, but keeping the rest, rather than speedy deleting (I'm actually guilty of not doing this too ;D). Anyway, keep up the new page patrolling! And if you'd rather not have the massive welcome template up above, then feel free to remove it (I quite like it myself, despite the size, as it's the template I was welcomed with, and I found it pretty helpful). Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we get a bit behind on that :/ Only the vandals get quick welcomes! ;). Keep well - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:09, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking the prod isn't necessary...Speedy deletion under G3 or A7? Ferrantino (talk) 15:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, after examining the entire thing again i can see what you mean - quite a lot of claims, which are certainly hoaxes. Tagged as G3 Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 15:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
