:All those articles were moved/merged with essays on advice of MaxFletcher and I asked Andy Schlafly to delete them after which he asked me to blank them to be sure that he won't delete the wrong article. I blanked some before being blocked by Karajou for a day.

:Does your message mean that if I tell you about balanking them I can safely blank them myself or just telling you would be enough and then I don't need to worry about deleting them myself since you take care about the delition? [[User:JimJast|JimJast]] 18:50, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

::Thats fine if you asked Andy to delete the pages after blanking them, just make sure it actually gets done before walking away. Andy likely has a lot to take care of on this site, so you can imagine it's easy for minor things to get lost in the shuffle from time to time. One suggestion could be, if instead of blanking the page and leaving it empty, you can blank the page and add a redirect to the page where you moved the content. Although that might work only if the Essay title cannot be confused with an encyclopedic title. Or, before you begin to write an article and create a new page, just keep in mind whether you are writing an "Essay:" or on a topic that deserves an encyclopedic title wihout the word Essay in it.
::Regarding safely blanking pages: I noticed whenever you blanked a page, you wouldnt summarize why you are doing so. Perhaps if you did that it would let others know that you are not simply vandalizing the page by removing its content. [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 14:31, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
