- Question to nominator - As this well executed AfD was your very first edit, care to tell us who this account (as well as the anon referenced below) is a sock of? --Oakshade (talk) 04:08, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Building is notable as it was previously the regional headquarters for the Internal Revenue Service and then the temporary casino for the MGM Grand Detroit and now houses the police and fire headquarters for the City of Detroit as well as a major forensics laboratory for the Michigan State Police.

- Comment: Also, nominator who put the tag on the article's page was an IP address User:67.218.41.166 who has been reprimanded and had their account suspended in July and August 2012 for abusive and disruptive edits then suddenly a few minutes later the nomination was created and added onto the AfD page by User:Spankyouverymuchhelpymchelper whose account was created 13:10, 8 August 2013 and with no other edits or history on English Wikipedia which IMHO is very suspicious which leads me to question the legitimacy of this AfD request and that this is possible a case of Sockpuppetry, In which case I suggest that this nomination be either placed on hold or cancelled all together.

- IP addresses are techincally unable to create pages; therefore, they cannot complete AfD nominations. What probably happened was that someone using the IP wanted to nominate this page for deletion, and got technically prevented from doing so, so they created an account to finish the process. Sockpuppetry is a deliberate use of multiple accounts for illegitamate purposes. Creating an account to complete a good-faith deletion nomination wouldn't necessarily be classified as sock puppetry. I think we should let this nomination through without accusing anyone right now. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 16:15, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
