The following is an exercise in closing AfD discussions. Please follow these rules:
 * 1) Indicate your decision (keep, delete, no consensus, merge, redirect, etc.) as well as your reason for making that decision. The reason should not be your personal opinion, but rather your interpretation of the arguments presented in the debate. The reason can be a sentence long for simple matters, or an entire paragraph long for more complex cases.
 * 2) You are allowed to search Google or other websites, but do not check Wikipedia to see if the article exists.
 * 3) Do the exercises in order, as they are arranged in order of difficulty.
 * 4) Remember that AfD is not a vote, but rather a discussion designed to achieve consensus. Therefore, you should give more weight to exceptionally well-reasoned arguments and less weight to mere !votes, arguments based on WP:ATA, SPA's, sockpuppets, etc.

Example

Decision: Delete Reason: Although a headcount shows an equal distribution of keep and delete !votes, the delete !votes are based on the lack of reliable sources and the presence of original research, while many of the keep !votes are based on WP:ILIKEIT.

Aap Kaa Suroor 2 - Ae Himesh Bhai
Decision: Delete Reason: There is strong consensus that this article contains pure speculation and speculation like that should never be allowed on Wikipedia.
 * CORRECT

Transport Giant
Decision: Keep Reason: There is enough reliable sources to prove its notability.
 * CORRECT

 * CORRECT

Decision: Delete Reason: The delete votes are based on a lack of reliable sources and original research.
 * CORRECT

Truth in Numbers
Decision: Keep Reason: Enough reliable sources are used to assert its notability.
 * INCORRECT - The argument has gone back and forth, without a clear consensus. Therefore, the correct decision is no consensus. The fact that it has been nominated before does not overrule the strength of the arguments presented in this debate, which are approximately equal.

Man in the Moon (song)
Decision: Merge and Redirect Reason: Most of the delete votes are based on a lack of notability. It cannot be expanded because of trivial third-party coverage.
 * INCORRECT - Both the "keep" and "delete" sides offered "(merge)/redirect" as an option. If that were not an option, the debate should have been closed as "delete." Therefore, the correct decision is redirect only, no merge.

Jessica Brooks Grant
Decision: Delete Reason: Althogh it has an equal distribution of headcount votes, the delete votes are based on failure to comply with the entertainer guidelines, while the keep votes are based on WP:CREATIVE.
 * CORRECT

Mike Brown (goaltender)
Decision: Keep Reason: Notability has been established and passes WP:GNG after reliable sources were added
 * INCORRECT - It's more of a no consensus. (Actually, the admin closed it as "delete," but it was overturned to no consensus at DRV.)

Fledgling Jason Steed
Decision: Delete Reason: Despite an equal distribution in deletion and keep votes, the deletion votes are based on a lack of both reliable sources and notability in books, whilst the keep votes are based on WP:ILIKEIT
 * CORRECT

List of films receiving six or more Academy Awards
Decision: Delete Reason: Most of the delete votes are based on a lack of reliable sources and notability while most of the keep votes are based on WP:USEFUL
 * INCORRECT - It's more of a no consensus. The keep !votes at the beginning were based on WP:USEFUL, but always read on to the end - there are pretty good arguments for keep there. (Later, on the article talk page they decided to redirect the page to List of Academy Award-winning films, but that's beside the point.)

Greece–Jamaica relations (2nd nomination)
Decision: Delete Reason: The delete votes are based on a lack of notability, while the keep votes are based on WP:ILIKEIT
 * CORRECT
