The result was no consensus. We all know that AfD is not a vote, but with this many participants I must fall back on the automatic headcount as a first approximation of the outcome. It is: Keep: 50; Delete: 22; Merge: 13; Redirect: 4. This tells me that while a majority thinks that we should keep the article, we don't have a clear consensus to do so, particularly because (as Collect points out) many "keep" opinions are from relatively new accounts, which always raises some concerns. Because so many opinions have been offered, and the issues raised here are ones of editorial judgment (is this a significant enough event for a separate article?), I can't reliably assign determinative weight to one or the other's side's arguments. This leaves us with no consensus, allowing the article to be renominated after some time has passed and the lasting significance of the event, or the lack thereof, can be better assessed. Many people who voice other opinions point out that this might at some time be better covered as part of the article about the related book, Call me Dave, and it might be useful to discuss this proposal at the talk page before starting any new deletion discussion.
