The result was speedy keep. This is not an article, and as such should be nominated at Miscellany for deletion. Also WP:NOTMEMORIAL clearly applies to articles, not projectspace. WJBscribe (talk) 17:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:NOTMEMORIAL. I know I'm going to get hate message for this, BUT, policy is Wiki is not a memorial. I'm not unsympathetic, my father died in March of this year, but I kept any mention of it off any pages, even my own userspace so that I wouldn't run afoul of this policy. If you want this page, the policy on this has to change, other wise the page can't be here. It wouldn't make sense to have WP:NOTMEMORIAL and yet have memorials anyway  KoshVorlon  > rm -r WP:F.U.R    16:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would say that WP:NOTMEMORIAL is intended to apply to article space, not project space. However, there may be other good reasons for deleting this. Mike R (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * P.S. I just noticed that this is at AfD; it should be moved to MfD. Mike R (talk) 16:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Keep does no harm, serves the community memory, not in article space, and IAR. DuncanHill (talk) 16:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
