- Well, Scottybo, if S-man is an example of your best work, it's no wonder that your pages keep getting deleted. Repetition can be funny, repeating "s-man" over and over again is not. Not funny, I mean. To help keep your pages alive, try working on them under your userpage (a la User:Scottybo/Yummy pudding), and move them to mainspace when they're done. Also, don't write crap. The S-man page being an example of crap. Sorry if I harshed your mellow, but we already have pages like that. We're tired of them. They're like running out onto the highway; sure, it's fun...once.

- In short, well-written articles get kept; poorly-written mirco-stubs, vanity, and otherwise unfunny stuff get deleted. If you don't want your articles to get deleted, make sure that the articles don't look like blantant spam or vanity, make them funny, and, if possible, make them longer than two or three paragraphs and try to capture the reader's attention. Formatting and images also help. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 19:31, September 14, 2007
