 ::: Ah. Indeed, you have misunderstood. 

 :::That link described why the article about a poet called Andrew Slattery was deleted. This does 'not' mean that any and all reference to a poet named Andrew Slattery should be removed from all Wikipedia articles. All that an AfD means is that the poet was not considered notable enough to have a whole article about him. That doesn't mean we're going to pretend he doesn't exist from here on out. Where he's mentioned in other articles, as long as it's sourced, we leave that alone. If there's a red link, you take away the link, but leave it as black text. We deleted an article from our encyclopedia. We didn't delete a person from history.   "
