| Hello, you might want to review ] because being listed on an exchange does not exempt an article about an organization from being speedily deleted.

| :I didn't base it on being listed on the ASX but to the fact that it did have one primary source and two newspaper sources (per WP:LISTED), therefore speedy deletion isn't appropriate.

| == Of Canadians? == | |||
| Can you please let me know when the Canadian has decided to de-colonise Australia? Until that's done, I'm not going to return because I'm tired of it. The last straw was telling me to work on his work, which he should have done three months ago, instead of working on Bieber. I wasn't doing much more than discussing an anti-Bieber image at the time related to Bieber. I was otherwise working on ] which is at GA, working on Paralympic related content, had spent the day completing the last of the women's national football team articles from around the world, and had completed a number of ] reviews and nominations. In Australian space, I don't like having to explain every single Australian thing, nor having the time of day challenged. Can you please ask him to leave? If he pays membership dues, I'd be more than accepting of him but he has ZERO desire to do so, while at the same time he takes up a lot of time to deal with and giving us zero back in return. --] (]) 06:10, 12 June 2012 (UTC) | |||

| I don't really have any argument with ''per se'' but your edit summary has me worried.
