::::::And your post on Camaron's talk page was absolutely beyond the pale.

:::::::Wikipedia is hardly a perfect enterprise ... but there are mechanisms for change (request comments if you don't like policy ... participate in discussions for change ... etc. However, if you feel that this website's policies (''the so-called "notability criteria" are wrong and irrelevant'') or a majority of its editors/administrators don't share your vision of how things should be, then may I suggest finding something else to do, or consider [[WP:TEA|having a cup of tea]] and contemplating how you can be productive within the framework of the website. I have no doubt that you can make many productive contributions, and hope that you will do so ... but jumping on people for daring to offer an article up for deletion because it very much appears to be in violation of the site's core policies. It would seem to me the only alternative is to walk away and find a new project to work on ... but I think Wikipedia would be worse off for it.

:::::::Your suggestions, I'm afraid, are rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works. On Wikipedia, our so-called "policies" and "criteria" are not "rules" that are created and must be followed, but rather ''mere descriptions of existing practice,'' and so if one wishes to change "policies" and "criteria," one does not start a discussion to try to change the content of the "policy" or "criteria" page but instead talks to people individually to change ''existing practice''; and when existing practice changes, the so-called "policies" and "criteria" are updated to reflect this new existing practice. What you are suggesting, then, is completely at odds with how Wikipedia works.

That article has been warped beyond the point of referring to it as ''My'' Article. Although this ''was'' one of my earliest articles, what the article really needs is someone willing to rewrite it into a decent article. There is also the issue of the lack of electronic resources concerning the Marching Titans. I just now checked the status of the article, and there have been three attempts to delete it all resulting in a "keep" consensus. Eventually I plan to get to it but since I had thought it had already been deleted I didn't give it any thought, but right now, I don't have the time to deal with it as I am more concentrated on other things and I am also working a great deal of overtime at work until mid-May at the earliest. If its still around in June or sometime later, I will then have time to re-write the article.
