[edit] More about me
I was a college student who majored in economics – I graduated and have just finished moving back home. I like anime — my favorite titles include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Kino's Journey, and RahXephon; lately, I have been watching Mai-HiME, which has excellent music. There is a page about me in the Creatures Wiki. After many times of hitting the "Random article" link, I have finally run into an article I've seen before: Shogi.

*Insane in this context refers to my own feeling of an article's topic. Think "Interesting and weird." Compare and contrast: Wikipedia:Unusual articles.

[edit] My AFD Recommendation Record
First of all, some notes on why I like to hang out at AFD. I do not consider myself a deletionist. On the contrary, I like reading AFD for the stuff that gets kept. Many of the articles on my "Insane" list above were examined on AFD at one point or another, or brought up as an example in discussion. So basically, I read AFD because interesting stuff comes up there.
On Sept. 12, 2004. My nomination of List of windmills, which at the time was blank, was mentioned on Nooks and Corners of Wikipedia. Although I wish we could have gotten better results on cleanup, the ultimate result was pretty good.
Record on per "vote" basis (maybe slightly off):
Description | Count |
Delete | 75 |
Keep | 65 |
Move | 2 |
Merge/Redirect | 12 |
Redirect or Delete | 1 |
Keep or Merge | 1 |
Transwiki | 1 |
