→ I had seen this but I will retort that I am on a public network that I would presume the other person is on as well. Why not check those various accounts IP outside the context of the shared IP? I had been using [[User:198.163.154.237]] before logging in at work, so the last few entries on there would appear to be me - although my entries that I can recognize on there seem to begin around the beginning of September. I only became involved in the IDC stuff later on. [[User:Spelf|Spelf]] ([[User talk:Spelf#top|talk]]) 20:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC) |

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]] |
|||
The article [[:AlternateHistory (website)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern: |
|||
<blockquote>Article makes no independently verified claim of notability. Per BEFORE, the subject seems to fail [[WP:GNG]] and [[WP:NWEB]]. Stuff like [https://books.google.com/books?id=jbVjAwAAQBAJ&pg=PP6&lpg=PP6&dq=alternatehistory.com&source=bl&ots=rbxjb3ffQJ&sig=Wbo02zRvK8JOaMIQGd4ZuHj-VOY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEmL3k_6XZAhUHvFMKHeQxDHM4ChDoAQhCMAY#v=onepage&q=alternatehistory.com&f=false this] and [https://books.google.com/books?id=XbDfAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA379&dq=alternatehistory.com&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj49qOAgKbZAhXE0FMKHdFCBWAQ6AEIUzAH#v=onepage&q=alternatehistory.com&f=false this] are mere mentions; not nearly enough.</blockquote> |
|||
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]]. |
|||
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:AlternateHistory (website)|the article's talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <span class="nowrap" style="font-family:copperplate gothic light;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span> 18:11, 14 February 2018 (UTC) |
