The template I placed on the article you ll notice that I was the one who originally nominated the article for deletion is the standard tag for articles undergoing the articles for deletion process it s not an expansion tag The template you are assigning is the tag for the proposed deletion process Please read over deletion policy the article can only go through one deletion process at a time The reason I nominated through AFD as opposed to prod was that the article has already survived one deletion attempt see the banner on the discussion page I think once you familiarize yourself with the 3 levels of article deletion processes speedy prod then AfD you ll understand what s going on In the meantime I m removing your prod tag again because it s confusing the issue
