 * Comment - I request that this discussion run its 7-day course as opposed to being speedily kept as I think the rationale for keeping the article on the other points of WP:PROF are weak. I don't know if it's and or or but I still think discussion is better than snow in this case.    Dr Strauss   talk   21:56, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
