Should be merged Ethanbas (talk) 07:58, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Extensively sourced article about a significant subject (even if a number of those sources are primary sources). More to the point, there is not much point proposing a merger without saying what it should be merged with. I am also a little concerned that the decision to propose deletion may have been influenced by apparent hostility towards the subject of the article (see this edit). --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 08:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the user who proposed deletion has made comments here and here, which suggest that the proposal was made in error. Can this be withdrawn now please? It would be good to get rid of the banner from the top of the article if there is no serious desire to delete the page, and it appears that when the banner was removed it was soon reinstated by "Cyberbot I" so presumably something else needs to be done in addition to just editing out the banner. Thanks. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 09:01, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Speedy keep" please - from my reading of the "Speedy Keep" page, this would qualify. (Criterion 1.) --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 09:59, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
