Funny that the guy who responded to your comment first seemed to be in
the "delete" camp though he didn't "vote", later said he thought
it
should be kept. Also, the nominator is an admin, not an SPA or
someone who lost an edit war so I think he is trying to do one of two
things.
1. He is trying to demonstrate that because it is possible to make a
good faith AFD nom on an article about a website which a "reasonable
person" would conclude belongs on wikipedia, that the guidelines on
web notability are flawed.
2. He is using a "snow nom" as a cluestick to get MA's editors to
clean up and properly source the article.
IMO (possibly bad faith), there is definitely a POINT being made
somewhere. I commented to that effort before reading David and your
own posts here, simply because it is aggravating to see Afds filed
without any attempt being made to (shock,horror) improve the
encyclopedia first, and only delete articles if no other approach
seems reasonable.
It could also be that the admin has a grudge against Wikia and was
hoping to sneak it through while lots of other noise was occupying
people, or just to create more controversy.
