I would say it is way to early to make that kind of decision. We need to give community videos time to develop. I dont know where this one is going but all the signs point to it being an ongoing series. Further I would suggest that we refrain from such deletion notices because they detract from the appearance of a page and discourage contributers.--modelmotion 09:20, 5 August 2008 (CDT)
- I'd also like to point out that Amanda typically encourages contest winners and the like to post videos of them receiving prizes. While the garden gnome was auctioned off for charity and not a contest prize, I'd humbly suggest that the same encouragement seems to apply. Apo 16:24, 5 August 2008 (CDT)
- How about this? We'll leave it for, say four or five weeks? If there's no new video in that time frame, the stuff I added in the deletion suggestion will apply. If there is a new video, we'll pump the page up a bit and put it into circulation.
- EDIT: I only questioned the page in the first place because it was orphaned and a dead-end, if you're curious. Shiori 18:55, 5 August 2008 (CDT)
- It is simply premature to place a large deletion notice at the top of a page for a new series in my opinion. Can we please remove that? These notices have a real dampening effect on the spirit of community video contributers and I would suggest that they should only be used when there is clear evidence that a series has been abandoned.--modelmotion 19:00, 5 August 2008 (CDT)
- mm, you do realize that nothing is actually linking to this page, right? That's the only reason I didn't take it down before. As for saying that a delete template puts a damper on people's feelings, I think that's kind of ludicrous. I do realize that some people take things way too personally in regards to how their contributions are edited, but I'd like to think that the majority of the community is above that. - Shiori 00:00, 12 August 2008 (CDT)
- talk to the community as I have done and you will find out that i am totally correct. As for the links, perhaps you should watch the series. i would suggest that at least something regarding the katemodern gnome and Azusa should both link to this page. i would humbly suggest that if you want to talk about a series you should actually watch it. Have you? As for this nonsense about taking down new series pages it is an attitude that does grave damage to the spirit of authors and i would highly suggest that you reconsider your position. There have been a few articles on the blogspot about this series. Have you read those? --modelmotion 04:05, 12 August 2008 (CDT)

- Can we please just act like a nice community and take this deletion notice down. This is a new series and the page does not need this kind of aggravation. It if futile and breaks the positive spirit of our community. Please just back off and let a series develop at its own pace.--modelmotion 09:55, 13 August 2008 (CDT)
- KEEP for now is my vote on the deletion suggestion. I have changed it to a "stub" notice, keeping the deletion possibility noted. I think this can be worked into a worthwhile article, and will work on it. --Milowent 10:30, 13 August 2008 (CDT)
