Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr Creosote
Another lazy nomination which does not make the slightest effort to demonstrate that the article cannot be improved as our |editing policy specifies.  I made a quick search and soon found a http://books.google.com/books?id=wPQelKFNA5MC&pg=PA25&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=0_0&sig=ACfU3U3VlU_2XV-Wj_hFx_eKACiGGA-EAg#PPA25,M1 reliable source which discusses the topic at length.  I may now improve the article accordingly but the chilling effect of threatened deletion is a disruptive obstruction to this.  The nominator failed to discuss the article's problems on its talk page and has made no attempt to improve the article himself.  Such superficial drive-by deletion should be censured since it disrupts our essential process of article development by slow accretion
