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

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.
