AfD nomination of Burrunjor

I have nominated Burrunjor, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burrunjor. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

No, not really. I hate Australians, and am extremely prejudiced against them so yeah I'll give that a miss but thanks.

The convention is not to delete anybody else's comments from a debtate considering deletion of an article. Hence this edit of yours was not appropriate --Matilda ^talk 04:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I couldn't help but notice your comments at [[1]]. While I agree that the idea of deleting articles can be frustrating -- and I have plenty of issues myself relating to other policies here -- it is still bad form to violate WP:CIVIL, which I feel you have done. Name-calling and insults are not the way to handle this sort of discussion. Criticize all you want -- although there are some who feel we shouldn't have the right to complain, I feel the more people who do complain the more likely we might see some changes made. But by violating WP:CIVIL you run the risk of not only being blocked or even banned, but more importantly the point you're trying to make might be lost or even ignored.
