that comment was supposed to be posted on the “AfD - Talk” page for the article — NOT the actual article. I removed that comment from the article itself. Your comment is correct, thanks. Many folks use wikipedia to get a snapshot of who a person is before doing more “in depth” research. Removing a wiki page for a candidate 20 days before a primary election is a poor attempt to bury the candidates message.. IMHO
Why is the Marco Rubio fan club so worried about Dr. Escoffery and why is he avoiding ANY contact with him and not willing to debate him on the issues that matter to conservatives? If Marco Rubio is such a great candidate than he should not be trying so hard to avoid debate with Dr. Escoffery. IMHO
Explaination of AfD as posted on Wikipedia:
Articles for deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians discuss whether an article should be deleted. Articles listed are debated for at least seven days, after which the deletion process proceeds based on community consensus. Then the page may be kept, merged or redirected, transwikied (copied to another Wikimedia project), renamed/moved to another title, userfied to a user subpage, or deleted per the deletion policy.
Knowing that... I am asking folks to post a comment on the “Afd - Talk” page defending Dr. Escoffery’s page... You don’t have to agree with him, but certainly an American Citizen willing to be a REPUBLICAN candidate for the U.S. Senate from Florida should at least be allowed to have a basic BIO page on Wikipedia.. One of the reasons a candidate “needs” a basic wiki page is becauae other wiki pages that discuss politics need to have a page to link to when candidates are discussed on other wiki pages such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Florida,_2010
you could put a page up there, but actually follow the format requirements (you didn’t) or make it at least read like it’s NOT just a campaign ad (you didn’t)....
