Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Nihilist Underground Society (fourth nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Speedy keep, I think it's pretty clear that people aren't going to accept a nomination five days after the previous one. The nominator's edits other than this seem to be POV warring on Oral sex, so I think that can be ignored. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Nihilist Underground Society (4th Nomination)

American Nihilist Underground Society (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non notable, nominated previously for deletion but vote was commandeered by sockpuppets and affiliates of site owners. Not notable to an encyclopedia even compared to other recreational internet forums, due to lack of readership and influence. HeavyMetalManiac 03:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Do you have anyone in mind as a sockpuppet. I looked at the most recent AFD I did not see any of the users voting keep being listed as socks. The most I saw was one user blocked for different reasons and one that had a few edits. No one else appeared to have any warning calling them a sock. Some evidence will be helpful --65.95.17.176 03:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Does someone else see reliable sources for the article, past the thing's existence? I don't. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 04:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, notability has been established: It can be verified through WP:V, and notability is established through WP:WEB and external links in article: [4], [5],[6]. (Note: This argument taken from the 2nd AfD attempt ([7]))--GVOLTT 04:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep From previous AfDs, seems to have been covered by major media, and is therefore verifiable and notable. Further, it looks like the article is being continuously relisted until the desired outcome is archived, which I disapprove of. We're here to write an encyclopedia, not delete one. --Falcorian ^(talk) 04:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, VFD is product of purile forum users: http://www.metal-archives.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=23072 (see Jesus_Wept's post) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.169.70.244 (talk • contribs) 21:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Um... that's... random, and totally irrelevant. I support deletion, and I'm not a "purile forum user", so bad faith doesn't really matter. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 04:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Last Afd closed five days ago and according to the link above, this nomination was done for disruption purposes. Prolog 04:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, ew, five days ago? While my previous comment still stands, I endorse speedy keep. Not going to fully retract the delete, though. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 04:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• I support a speedy keep, but, for what it's worth, this article still has the same failings it did when I spent too much time arguing about it in AfD #2, which degenerated into editors accusing others of ulterior motives for saying this article should be deleted (which it should). GassyGuy 05:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, considering that it took just about 3/4 of a day for someone to accuse the nominator of being a purile forum user, I'm not surprised. Still, AfDs should not happen every 5 days. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Multiple sources, just had this a few days ago. LAME! --- RockMFR 05:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article contains many sources. John Reaves 05:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
