Slight majority in favor of keep in fact. on that basis I've undeleted.
Thanks. Now get ready for the accusations of starting a "wheel war."
And now it's deleted again. It's been put up for review at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Eon8.
I don't frequent AfD so perhaps I get a skewed impression, but does anyone think that the prevalence of extremely hyperbolic "strong" voting is on the increase? AfD isn't even supposed to be a vote in the first place, technically, so giving a vote to "Destroy, pillage and salt the earth of this accursed article" or "Strong strong strong KEEP" seems kind of silly and pointless. The calls to _ban_ article contributors and/or people who voted to keep the article are even more silly, well over into the realm of blatantly stupid - AfD is not ArbCom, the very notion of crossing the two gives me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it's just these specific highly contentious arguments where that sort of thing happens.
