Hi Teratix; I would like to bring an article under your attention → List of wax figures of Lee Min-ho displayed at various places

I don't see any point for its existence. Do we need a separate page for a list of wax statues of an actor? I request you to get it deleted and if you feel right then content can be on his main article page → Lee Min-ho (actor).

Thank you.

Hi @-ink&fables:, looks like you've taken the initiative and nominated it for deletion yourself. Nice job! Although Korean actors are a bit outside my usual field of work, I agree that the list as it stands doesn't really need to be separate from the main article. Just a few things:

• Total deletion is the most extreme way to suppress an article on Wikipedia. You should generally see if there are any softer alternatives before you nominate an article for deletion. Here, merging the content back to the actor's page is a less destructive way to deal with the problem, and retains the page's history in case it can ever become a suitable list.
• Having your article for deletion can be quite a shock for editors, especially if they are new and editing in good faith. It's a good idea to be as empathetic and gentle as possible when communicating with them. – Teratix ₵ 12:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

@Teratix: Thank you for your encouragement and guidance. I will surely be more considerate from next time. Thank you again. -ink&fables «talk» 13:34, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
