Article about a non-notable R&D worker which seems to have survived WP:SPEEDY. May be vanity; the article's writer is called User:CarlyleHarmon. Fishal 20:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw nom per discussion and rewrite. Fishal 19:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete as unsourced and WP:VAINDarkAudit 21:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Keep The revised version is nothing like the previous version. Notability well established. Good job. DarkAudit 04:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article was, as near as I can tell, just a reprint of his obituary from the Stanford University alumni magazine. I've just re-written the article so that it's no longer a copyright violation, and so that it better establishes that he is, in fact, notable. I just did a quick-and-dirty job, though, so the article could certainly use some proofreading if anyone has to the time to do so before I find the time to get back to that task myself. Mwelch 01:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Speedy keep per withdrawal of nomination and unanimous opinion of editors contributing to the AfD. Mwelch 20:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There are 3 RS media references to a really notable invention. I havent checked the details for the invention, but the RS arre quite enough.DGG 01:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. Can I revoke my nomination? (I don't participate in AFD very often.) Fishal 13:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- Since there are now no editors advocating deletion, you actually could perform a non-admin closure, if you're so inclined. Personally, as a non-admin myself, I prefer to leave all closures to the admins, but that's just my preference. You may be bolder than I in that regard. If not, then just
strike throughyour original nomination text at the top and immediately below that write (preferably in bold or CAPS or something so that it stands out) that you are withdrawing the nomination per this discussion/the re-write of the article. That will make the article eligible for speedy keep and an admin will formally close out the AfD when your withdrawal is noticed. Mwelch 16:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
