A few responses:
- AfD discussions are generally left open for five days -- AfD itself is backlogged, currently, and this particular discussion was open for seven, two more than is regular practice.
- A debate which reaches no consensus (another conclusion I considered) will default to keep.
- AfD (indeed, hardly any discussion on the wiki) is not a vote. The number of editors voting for any particular result is useful only as a partial gauge -- far more important are the individual issues each voice raises, and the strength of those points, especially as regards Wikipedia policy and guidelines.
- Even if we were to count votes, the total would come to 7 keeps and 5 deletes. The majority of users favored keeping the article.
- Closing admins aren't supposed to comment on the discussion -- doing so violates our neutrality and poses a conflict of interest. Far from participating in the discussion, we're only supposed to act on policy, guideline, and community consensus.
If you disagree with my closing of the discussion, you're more than welcome to make a request at deletion review, or to wait awhile and begin a second discussion, as you like. Luna Santin 01:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting -- a moment ago, you said 80% of posters voted to delete, and now it seems you've forgotten saying that, instead choosing to argue from the most arrogant position possible. Surely someone who claims to have an intimate understanding of general practice and policy would be fully aware of the means by which they could sign their posts. As much as I try to be open with discussion, it seems to me that you're trying to bait me. With that in mind, feel free to make that request at deletion review and see what the community at large thinks of my action. Luna Santin 02:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
