The result was keep. In consideration of the suspicious nomination, the article's CSD vandalism history, and the overwhelming consensus of the !votes, I believe this is a bad faith nomination. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator note I have asked the nominator to clarify their nomination reason. I also just noticed the similarity of the nominator's user name and the creator of the article. I have subsequently blocked the nominator's account due to it being against user name policy. In consideration of the suspect user name and edit history of the article, I think this is a bad faith nomination, but I'll let it run for a little bit. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:40, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Many of the sources (Wired, ABC, various local/regional press) are reliable and sufficiently comprehensive to meet WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:01, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
