IMHO, it's perfectly possible to make a good encyclopedia without a
Daniel Brandt page. If his page was deleted because of his repeated
demands, it would be bad. But we shouldn't just keep the page just
because he's annoying us.

I may agree with this. It does seem to me to have been a move designed
to be controversial, and to disrupt wikipedia to leave a departing
message.

On the other hand, consensus seems to be that he's right, so... in view
of AGF and IAR, ... let's just say this whole affair is simply NOT
IMPORTANT ENOUGH to be upset about it.

It's still a damn fine encyclopedia, with or without [[Daniel Brandt]].
