Mapping of Unicode graphic characters

Delete. This article does a sort of list of character topics, with no sense of structure or completeness at all, let alone giving a good overview. Then, in Unicode, there is no concept of 'graphic character' at all (as I noted on the Talkpage earlier here). Unicode uses a lot of concepts related to 'characters', like say 'Format char'. 'Control char', even 'Code', but never ever 'graphic character'. Content of this (old) page is covered elsewhere. DePiep (talk) 00:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 February 12. Snotbot t • c » 02:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still not have the faintest idea what step 3 is about, I tried it before and it did not invite me into anything (I thought I was lost) [2]. Intrerestingly, I do one or two TfDs a month, but AfD surprises me.

And to be clear: this is a botted response? Why should I read? A bot that does not know what it is talking about should be shut off. I am really pissed of that this message is brought to me, while the message is nonsense from A to ZX. And I will not be so 'helpful' (to a bot?) that I will go over to edxplain what the bot does. -DePiep (talk) 03:04, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, let me give you an explanation. WP:AFDHOWTO gives as Step 3 various things that you did not do. It is important that you do them. It doesn't understand that you understand why--it will not invite you--you just need to do them.--Prosfilaes (talk) 08:55, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
