The System of the World (novel)
DELETE - THIS IS ADVERTISING A NOVEL. by User:66.68.202.116
 * This was never posted to the log, so I'm completing this process. This does look like a vandal, I agree, but summarily closing an unposted VfD is unusual so I thought I'd bring it here. -Splash July 4, 2005 12:12 (UTC)

*Notice: this IP is a vandal taking revenge because two of his pages are going to be deleted. I am closing this VfD, as such. --Alex12 3 4 July 2005 11:55 (UTC)
 * Keep. Stating the book exists is not advertising it. Maybe you misread the article as "THIS IS A NOVEL TO BE ADMIRED"?   &mdash; J I P | Talk 4 July 2005 07:45 (UTC)
 * I'm not too happy with a summary closing of a VfD by a non-admin. It wasn't even listed on the log properly; a VfD is rarely closed early, more usually the probable vandal is given a slap on the wrist and after a couple of keep votes, nothing else happens until, after 5 days, someone closes to keep. I've also reinstated the VfD tag on the page. If an admin wants to close this discussion and remove the tag, I would raise absolutely no objection at all. -Splash July 4, 2005 12:12 (UTC)


 * So, I vote keep.Splash July 4, 2005 12:12 (UTC)
 * I don't realize why we have to do this, as this is obviously malicious vandalism by the IP (I've reported him, by the way). But, whatever. Strong Keep. --Alex12 3 4 July 2005 12:14 (UTC)
 * Good to report them. I just think that following process is the way to go, and, like I said, I wouldn't object to an early close if that was done by an admin (just because it's out-of-process). -Splash July 4, 2005 12:15 (UTC)
 * Aye, the report was acted on, quite fast I might add. I just asked an admin to come by and close this VfD, if appropriate I suppose. --Alex12 3 4 July 2005 12:21 (UTC)


 * Keep. Bad faith VfD. El_C 4 July 2005 12:24 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to be a rash of anonymous nominations. Notable novel by notable author.Capitalistroadster 4 July 2005 14:09 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's sitting on my shelf waiting for me to get around to reading it. Seems like a malicious nomination as mentioned above. Leithp July 4, 2005 14:53 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep malicious nomination. Double Blue  (Talk) 4 July 2005 16:33 (UTC)
 * Keep Huh? JYOuyang 7 July 2005 20:40 (UTC)
 * The article needs some work, but there is no need to delete it. Vandalism by a bogus VfD nomination - keep. - Mike Rosoft 7 July 2005 22:36 (UTC)
