User talk:Strategist@aol.com

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Email addresses cannot be used for usernames, as discussed in this guideline. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Steamroller Assault (talk) 03:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Turnaround Management Association Inducts First Class Into the Turnaround Management, Restructuring, Distressed Investing Industry Hall Of Fame

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Turnaround Management Association Inducts First Class Into the Turnaround Management, Restructuring, Distressed Investing Industry Hall Of Fame, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

It's written like an advert or a press release, and it's a bit of a linkfarm; It describes a one time "news" event (the induction into the hall of fame) that isn't notable

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
