It doesn't matter if you were RIGHT. The three revert rule is designed precisely to sidestep discussions of who's right, in order to prevent edit wars. If you want to continue reverting an article inside a 24 hour period, you have to contact someone else and have them do the reverting. The three revert rule is full of loopholes in that sense, but it's purpose is only to make revert wars difficult and annoying enough to carry out that they become rare. It has to be enforced or wikipedia gets clogged up.

You disruptively attempted to close an AfD on an article that falls into your area of ... what's that word that isn't "obsession" but means the same thing? You did so four times. You then voted "speedy keep", with your first sentence being the same as your edit summary.
Have you looked at the article in question? I don't know about others, but to me it's a blatantly obvious speedy keep. People obviously keep the AfD discussion going only because it's "accepted practice" or "policy" or whatever you call it this time. If anyone actually sat down and thought about what we really want, it would be a speedy keep.
