The subject of this BLP wants it deleted. An IP editor tried and failed to have it deleted through PROD and CSD before attempting too send it to AFD. I am fixing the AFD nomination because I do not want to remove an AFD template without giving the community a chance to speak. Andrew³²⁷ 17:36, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. To be clear, I believe this article should be kept, even though I am listed as having nominated it. Andrew³²⁷ 17:37, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Is there any shred of credible evidence to suggest the IP is actually this person? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
