Why would that be considered an abuse? That's like saying that having your family vote for you in a political race is unethical or abusive.
And to Fred, yes I believe the article has factual basis because I've been involved in the research. Rice is and has been in Tibet for a long time. This was a very very quirky story that has reached an almost legendary status in Tibet. I'm going to work in getting pictures of the Yopu statue and form a separate site about the on going research.

Now I've been "permanently blocked" and my article removed. You would think I was some sort of vandal. True there is a similar style in several of the keep votes. This is because I phoned several friends and colleagues to support this article. Some didn't take it as seriously as others.
To point something out, calling friends and coworkers to blindly vote "Keep" on your article could be construed as an abuse of the VfD process. Of course, anon votes are rarely counted, so it's not that much of a concern.
