My user and talk page policies

I have noted that a few other Wikipedians have started posting such disclaimers, and I feel that I must as well, as my user page and talk page have been vandalized at various times.

Vandalism will be reverted on sight. Period.
Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will be reported on sight. Period.
Defamatory statements will be removed AND reported on sight. Period.

I have read over MANY of the primary Wikipedia policies, and I do ask that other editors do the same, even newbies. I CAN AND WILL UPHOLD THEM.

Signed and updated,

Proposed deletion of The Axis of Insanity

The article The Axis of Insanity has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of significant coverage and failing to meet general notability guidelines. There is a lack of reliable sources for this article online. Existing external link is production company's website. List reference to this article is at Doctor Who: The Monthly Adventures.

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.
