to very-well referenced or linked, and in the latter two cases have been around for five years.
So, [[Bubbles the Clown]] was nominated by an editor who had been editing for less than 36 hours, [[Katie Hopkins]] by an editor who has been editing for less than 30 days, plus we're apparently the type of encyclopedia that has to question whether Rock Climbing and Chess Strategies are notable.
Interesting. But, really, something is going on in AfD. These are sock puppet accounts created by beligerant AfD deletionists who have been caught out on various things--like probably the editor who deleted stuff from an article then nominated it for deletion based upon what he'd deleted not being there, is back.
I still think it's a secret contest.

Giggy,
So far it is as it generally does in AfD.

They're not going to be deleted. This seems to be a case of someone thinking that discussing chess strategies and tactics is the same as a guide to them. Having grown up in a family of chess players, I can assure you discussing strategies is nowhere near the same thing as instructing players in how to use specific strategies or weigh tactics in the midst of a game.
The issue of faith is how long they stay on AfD. These need just speedy kept. Now. Some admin, please step in and stop this nonsense.
