The article creator cannot remove the db-spam tag. --Cbdorsett (talk) 09:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I can. I have done so. Please bone up on CSD and other policies, and don't mire us in silly process. I appreciate your attempt at article patrol but you have to accept the fact that every once in a while a new article created by a long term wikipedian about a corporation might just be a legitimate notable subject. Sports Club LA is a pretty significant institution, being one of the premier high end lifestyle sports clubs in the US, and something of a trendsetter in the field. There are hundreds to thousands of major publication significant mentions, more than 400 in the New York Times alone. Chronicling the formation and operation of the club is hardly spam. Spam is advertising something in PR-speak and even there, speedy deletion only applies in clear cases where there is nothing salvageable about the article. It is not worth the time and effort to muck Wikipedia up in process. Many new article creations by legitimate editors get slapped with some kind of silly deletion tag by over-eager new article patrollers. Again, a great effort. But you have to discern that sometimes a legitimate article gets created. Wikidemon (talk) 10:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On wikipedia:CSD, I found the following language:

"The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead add {{hangon}} to the page, and explain the rationale on the page's discussion page."

This language is also paraphrased in the tag itself.

Not every tag you disagree with is "silly." Please put the tag back and pay attention to proper Wiki procedure. --Cbdorsett (talk) 11:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am the creator and I have removed an obviously inappropriate speedy tag. I do it all the time because the new article patrol is broken. Exactly what are you trying to prove? Wikidemon (talk) 11:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
