Why

Species, characters or fursonas normally remain within their user' page, until it has gather enough notoriety to be separated on their own article - Spirou 03:01, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

---Then please, go through and do that for all the other pages on the fictional_species pages that you also deem "not notable enough" by your own standards.

FYI, there are multiple people roleplaying monoceri on various MU's. I've referred them to this page over the years for simple backdrop on the species, using WikiFur as a resource in good faith. Just because they don't have personal WikiFur pages doesn't mean I'm the only one and that it's a "vanity page" as a result.

Please clarify your system for determining what is 'notable', and then please apply it to all the other 'fictional species' category entries on WikiFur and apply it fairly. If you can't do this, please re-instate the Monoceros page so I can continue to refer to it on the various Furry roleplaying areas I frequent.

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tugrik (talk • contribs) .

Regardless of whether or not the topic should have its own article: If you're going to do that, you should actually put the information that you have replaced with a redirect on the page that you redirect to - preferably in a section of its own, which you could set the redirect to point to (e.g. #REDIRECT [[Tugrik#Monoceros]]). Otherwise the content is lost to readers, and users not experienced with wikis will have no idea how to get it back either. --GreenReaper^(talk) 03:12, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm not very Wiki-savvy myself. I'm not even sure if I'm properly responding here, or if editing a talk page is the right thing to do.

Either way, all I know is that a page not touched for years was suddenly marked for deletion. When I undid that upon notification, it was fully deleted/redirected with no explanation. When I asked for an explanation, I'm simply told that it's "not notable", even though the fictional_species area is full of similar character instances.

As a very long standing member of the fandom whose character-species is decently well recognized (except, evidently, to wikifur editors), I find this to be an abuse of power by an editor who thinks he knows best. The "screw him, I'm deleting/redirecting" comes across as a punitive revenge piece instead of a proper justification.

Please apply this "notable'" policy to ALL appropriate character species here on WikiFur, or please restore my s"pecies" page. If neither can be done, please remove all my information from this Wiki. I'm glad to contribute and be a part, but not if I'm going to simply be deleted and nose-thumbed at by an editor on a "notableness" streak. Thank you.

(To Green) tried, was giving me a error message page,... tried 10 items for the redirect to stick - Spirou 03:31, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

"Then please, go through and do that for all the other pages on the fictional_species pages that you also deem "not notable enough" by your own standards".... Your species article has not been deleted, it's been merged with your user article,... and, yes we do the same to all species pages we come through. An example of an species page that earned it's own: Chakats. They are everywhere, knowledge, media, fursuiting, lore, etc,...

Monoceros is currently a very localized known species. Could that change, it would easily separate from your user article - Spirou 03:31, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Explanation posted. Post wasn't deleted just merged, We go over every article to see if it can be enhanced (Merge, unmerged, moved, trimmed, edit), Nothing to do with "Notability", but how that info has affect the whole of the fandom (see Chakats). All pages go thru the same process, this not directed towards you. Just trying to edit balanced,...

One more time. All articles go through this process. Nobody is singled out - Spirou 03:38, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

At this point the explanation does not matter.

I am the sole copyright holder on the species concept "monoceros" and on the monoceros character "Tugrik". I put these pages here against my better judgement as a favor to GreenReaper back when he was trying to convince those in his social circles to contribute to WikiFur.

Now that I find myself being judged by a self-appointed editor, I wish to remove all of my copyrighted content, text and images from this site. Please do so or I will pursue this matter further as provided for by US copyright law.

Once all my materials are removed I will delete my account, and you will no longer have to worry about categorizing the information that I contributed to this Wiki.

Thank you.
