[Wikipedia-l] More on page deletions...

[Miguel Bravo-Ferrer]

why I supported the removing made by Angela, not for the number of affected 
people. If I have well understood, the problem was the "blatant advertising 
for a company, product, group, service or person". Sorry I have wrongly 
situated ny supporting.
