Voting just "nn" gives no reasoning _why_ the voter thought the article was nn. The point of AfD is supposed to be to have a discussion and reach a consensus, not just tally up votes and go with whichever side achieves the magic numeric threshold. If an article were to go up for deletion and fifty people voted "keep, notable!" but one person voted "delete, this is a hoax. See these websites [1][2][3], it was dreamed up by a radio shock jock in 2003 at WKRAP in New Serepta as part of a contest he was running." I would certainly hope that that one well-support delete vote would blow all fifty of those unsupported keeps out of the water.
I'd certainly hope so.
I'd hope the article were kept, and changed to explain the hoax, since obviously it's a notable hoax.
