no a valid reason for removal
actually it is (WP:NOT) - Article pages are for improving articles not general conversation about issues that will not improve the article - see the Muhammed talkpages for an example of where this has had to be into practice alot. --Fredrick day (talk) 13:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Dude... no.
This is so far beyond inappropriate, it's shameful.
- Don't bother applying
- And writing directly to Jimbo wasn't cool
- You currently have less than 450 edits to your credit which puts your likelyhood of success at...oh...around 0%
- They'll take a look at your "User contributions" and discover that you have never, not even once, done any of those things and reject your request without further consideration
- try again in a year or two
Srs? Calm down. I find it highly ironic that you just tanked any chance of a successful RFA for yourself in biting a newb in regards to his chances of having a successful RFA. Keep up the good work. Lara❤Love 16:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
