Hmmm... do some of the editors have such a problem with entries that are in progress that they decide to propose them for deletion rather than attempt to support the efforts of the original author by adding to the content or make any effort to improve the article rather than remove it?
Isn't WP supposed to help people by expanding our knowledge and improving the transmission of information?
I've just been subjected to a rather bizarre bunch of activity by Mythpage88, who seems anxious to delete everything I've written over the years in WP on the basis that it isn't "notable".
The work I've documented is a vital part of the arts history in the Silicon Valley during the 1990's - a time when the Internet was making a tremendous impact on original work in performing arts. For example: Virtual Valley might have been sponsored by Pacific Bell and San Jose Metro, but it was the very first time that non-profits had with the ability to use the Internet.
Why shouldn't this be documented on WP? If you think something is an "Ad" then rewrite it - don't delete it just because you can!

It looks like he nominated one article which you edited a few years ago, trimmed another one, and added tags to a few others. You should try talking to him about it.

Can you point us to a dialogue you have had with Mythpage88?
What's bugging him?
