So it's gone now. Deleted by Yanksox, speedily endorsed by our friend Gaillimh. Three cheers all round? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/cool.gif)

It's probably pointless to discuss this like it's some sort of election, but after counting the votes, I came up with 76 endorsing deletion, and 111 to overturn. Of the 111, 7 explicitly indicated they would probably vote to delete on the subsequent AfD. So that's 83 votes to delete, and an unknown number to keep, but judging by what people were writing, I'd have to say the results will probably come out almost dead even... If I had to guess, I'd say there'll probably be a slim majority wanting to keep the thing, not that it should ever have to come to a vote in the first place.

Yanksox had the right idea - one of the few people there who did, and one of only a handful willing to act on that right idea.

The thing that strikes me about this DRV, as well as the one or two AfD debates on my bio that allowed some responses instead of getting summarily aborted, is that most of those who vote on the inclusionist side are Wikipedians I've never heard of. They come out of the woodwork just for me, and know nothing about me or the history behind my bio.

I bore this in mind while I was counting... I came up with just under 50 of the 111 whose names I actually recognized. Of course, I've never had an account on WP - I just read people's talk pages and such when there's a "problem." So I guess I'm not one to say, but it did look an awful lot like The Attack of the Jimbodrones to me too!

One, although this time she's on my side. But she's clever (no one has ever accused her of not being clever - check the record). She knows when to take a back seat. Perhaps that should read, "She knows when to ostensibly take a back seat." We're not privy to all the emails flying around, and the possible backroom deals.
