What is this nonsense?

[Ragnar Schroder]

What is this? Is it "appropriate" to create a new page on the topic?  No clue is given.  I thought of creating an outline of the different axiom sets of set  theory  to complement the Set article,  where the reason why not all sets are admissible is left dangling.

It means that the page at some point was deleted.  It's an automatic warning.  Disregard it and create the article.  It is basically designed to say "Because we used to have this article and don't any more, you might want to look into why it was deleted".  In that case, someone basically plopped two paragraphs from Wikipedia on the page and left it there, so it got deleted 8 months ago.  By all means recreate the article, and sorry for the inconvenience/confusion.

I thought it was something like that.  I can also envision this happening if a page is created incorrectly; the topic is incorporated into another, or something of the sort.

Is it a template that places the WARNING notice?  Can the person placing it also put a note on the talk page:  deleted because this was stupid don't put it back/deleted because this has been incorporated into [[Aztec Fishing Gear]]/deleted because this was a WP stub which remained untouched for years, feel free to start again from scratch?

I'm not sure what's causing it.  It's not a template or anything.  As far as I can tell, it's a default we picked up somewhere.  Possibly in the shipping version of MW 1.10 (although I've never heard of it on WP).  I think that mentions on Talk Pages might not be a bad idea.

In short Mr. Schroder, please do create the article.  Ironically, it was created to open up the space to encourage others to build a quality article there.  So I again apologize for the tone of the default message (which I can't seem to find in order to soften).

I think the (bsd) on the end of the comment is referring to the "Big Speedy Delete" project - http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:The_Big_Speedydelete - which was when we de-forked form wikipedia and delete all the exwikipedia pages.

This is also an example of why ciizendium had a rule about using acronyms. The three letters "bsd" have little meaning to anyone who was not around a year ago, and only marginal meaning to those who were. Proper comments please folks.

Had?  Has?

Maybe a notice in flashing purple so people like me get to know better?
