I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, the nomination or the closure.
I think I've gotta go with the nomination. If Shankbone doesn't want a BLP, let him make his own nomination.

In other words, my plan to get a wiki-friend to close as a delete, at seven days plus one second, have been foiled.
And the MMORPG rolls on. At least it hasn't taken any innocent victims with it this time.
WTF are you talking about?
First of all, last I read, Shankbone was indifferent on the whole thing. I've emailed asking him what his thoughts are because, to be honest, I don't understand how someone could be indifferent to having a biography on Wikipedia, particularly someone familiar with Wikipedia, and
especially when their biography has been subject to BLP violations in a very short time of existence.
Also, your argument is stupid. Seven hours (or six hours and 40 minutes) is quite a bit of time. Excessively early. And while I suppose it's possible that McBride wanted to close it himself or have someone else do it, I think it's far more likely that such an early close was to prevent someone else from closing with a different result.
