 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Between the withdrawal by the sockpuppet nominator, the lack of editors arguing for Delete and the sock activity, consider this a procedural Keep. Those who didn't want Keep advocated a Merge. Editors can set about merging content to a target article after this AFD is closed. Liz Read! Talk! 01:11, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
