re my comment at AfD for The Cartoon
I explained it on the DRV page. Herostratus (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, look, it's easy. The expression !vote, with the exclamation mark, means "not" vote (the exclamation mark standing for "not") and those are NOTAVOTEs because Voting is evil. The expressions Keep and Delete are opinions, not votes, and are generally discarded if they have no basic reasoning behind them, that is, without some explanation or rationale to convince the admin why it should be kept or deleted. :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  17:56, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It may be called a "not" vote, or favouring or supporting, or notavote or any other invented word, the real effect was that Herostratus's comment was treated as supporting deletion despite his expressly stating "Keep". More generally, a poll brings about a transparent conclusion to a debate.  Whether the debate was well-informed or ill-informed is another matter altogether.  To replace a poll with  subjective assessment by one or a few of the qualitative debate is a step towards tyranny and dictatorship.  I'm not saying a poll is the best way to decide the deletion of an article, but it is a suitable tool for many purposes.  Rainjar (talk) 08:37, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

United League (football)
I have created a page for the United League (football), written in my own words.

This is the third page I have created, the previous ones being the Retain and transfer system and Sheffield United Cricket Club. Rainjar (talk) 14:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
