AfD was closed as keep however no evidence was ever brought forward of non-trivial coverage by any kind of reliable third party publication. Several of the !voters comments actually amounted to "it exists" and "it is useful" which are the worst arguments I can think of to retain an encyclopedia article. Billions of things exist but that is not reason for inclusion. I am requesting a review of the closure and have notified the closing administrator. I feel this should be overturned as delete or possibly relisted with more careful eyes. [[User:JBsupreme|JBsupreme]] ([[User talk:JBsupreme|talk]]) 15:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC) |

AfD was closed as keep however no evidence was ever brought forward of non-trivial coverage by any kind of reliable third party publication. Several of the !voters comments actually amounted to "it exists" and "it is useful" which are the worst arguments I can think of to retain an encyclopedia article. Billions of things exist but that is not reason for inclusion. I am requesting a review of the closure and have notified the closing administrator.

AfD was closed as a redirect to Stunticons, which is a page not even mentioned in the discussion. SarekOfVulcan's rationale seems to have been that the consensus was for a redirect to a Transformers-related article and that Stunticons was the most appropriate target, even if not specifically mentioned. However, my contention is that a redirect to dragstrip is most appropriate, as that's where drag strip redirects. We need very strong justification for having differently capitalized redirects leading to different targets, and I don't believe that justification was provided.

- Neutral While I think my closing judged consensus in the discussion correctly, it was a near thing, and LtPowers makes a good point above. If consensus is to overturn, I don't have a problem with that.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Changing the target of a redirect is a matter for talk page discussion; the redirect page is not protected. You don't need DRV. GRBerry 13:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree. Changing from one Transformer article to another mentioning Drag Strip would be a matter for talk page discussion. Changing it to a dragracing article would have the effect of removing the reference to the character altogether, essentially overturning the result of the AfD.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:39, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Deletion was contrary to comparable practice. I gather the article had been deleted before, but I do not know the actual reason, I am guessing it was at the request of the subject. However, a comparator article is that of Arthur Kemp. The subject disagreed with some of the content, but the matter was dealt with by the usual editing process and the article was not deleted. I do understand why this article should not be treated in exactly the same way RolandTravis (talk) 07:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- The previous article was at Alan Harvey, and was deleted six times. The first time was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan Harvey. The last two times were due to WP:OTRS requests. That history is why I speedy deleted it. Will Beback talk 07:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- I suspect that you need to produce a well sourced userspace draft for discussion before we will consider this. Also, given your mastery of wikimark-up perhaps you could disclose any other accounts you have edited under. Spartaz Humbug! 11:37, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
