 Indeed, it seems you tagged for CSD despite there being an assertion of notability. And while you did attempt to communicate after he removed the CSD tag, it would have been clearer without the red bar. I would have added the hangon tag and left a clear note telling the creator that I had done so and asking him to not remove the CSD tag. And you had the courtesy to add an AFD notice. That I like. I would suggest doing a Google News search before tagging. Many new users don't make it easy to see notability and verifiability. Sometimes they need our help. Cheers,  "
