The result was Delete. I'm persuaded by the arguments that WP:BLP1E applies to this article. The legitimate concerns raised over both off-site canvassing (most – but not all – of the editors active on Wikipediocracy support deletion) and apparently double- or triple-"voting" (3 of the "keep" editors appear to have very similar IP addresses, and few edits to anything else) mean that we have to be especially careful about relying on "head counts", and instead focus on the weight of the argument. Countering BLP1E (and WP:BLP concerns in general) are arguments that the subject meets WP:GNG, but as the introduction to that guideline states: "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The reliable sources present in the article and mentioned by those opposing deletion do create an assumption of notability, but this deletion discussion, has, from my reading of it, concluded that this subject does not merit a stand-alone article. I'm therefore convinced that deletion is compatible with both WP:BLP1E and WP:GNG. 28bytes (talk) 18:19, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
