According to Wikipedia:Deletion policy, "All text created in the Wikipedia main namespace is subject to several important rules covering criteria for articles (what Wikipedia is not)...". This article transparently fails Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so it should be deleted regardless of what the AfD votecount is. I was the only participant recommending deletion here but felt policy is clear in this case, so I asked the closing admin to reverse his close or at least relist the AfD. He refused to do either. BTW would like to acknowledge that this is just one of many recent WP:WINAD AfD's that in my view were closed in favor of votes and against policy. The attitude of many participants in these AfD's, including this one, has seemed to be "it's long, so it can't be a dictionary article" which is wrong as explained in WP:WINAD.

  • Retarded Animal BabiesENDORSE CLOSE (keep deleted). Neither AfD nor DRv are votes, so basing strictly on strength of argument, the close was proper as no credible proof of sufficient notability was offered, nor did this DRv offer substantive new data or indication that the original close was improper. – Herostratus 13:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Retarded Animal Babies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|AfD)

Deleted per WP:WEB in december 2006 after an AFD that barely had discussion or consensus, and protected from recreation on the first nomination. Retarded Animal Babies has since gained notability since being prominently featured in a Weird Al Yankovic video. Propose to undelete, as it was a well written article, or at least allow recreation. --Edokter (Talk) 18:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If this is now notable please present multiple non-trivial reliable sources to verify that. Appearing in a music video isn't enough, although it may indeed have spawned the sources we need. --kingboyk 19:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Steve_PavlinaENDORSE CLOSURE (keep deleted). Both the AfD and this DRv were basically unanimous. No sufficient proof of notability was offered in the AfD, so the closure was proper. And no convincing new data has been offered here. – Herostratus 14:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of fonts by Ray Larabie (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|AfD)

This was an incomplete list of fonts. I completed the list and it vanished with no explanation. Did I do something wrong?
