And looking at the DRV
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Deletion_review#Wikipedia:Bad_Jokes_and_Other_Deleted_Nonsense_subpages_.28closed.29):

"Closing this early. First and foremost, DRV is now based on strength
of arguments, rather than vote-counting. The basic strength of the
argument in regards to BJAODN being a GFDL violation is a simple fact
and there is no way to refute it."

In other words: "IDONTLIKEIT and I'm not going to listen to any
arguments". Absolutely disgraceful.
