 * Weak Keep - Draft has been worked on from time to time. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:08, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It's been worked on once by the creator since its creation in 2018. Every other edit is by a bot. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:38, 26 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - Robert McClenon is right. Additionally, I was planning, myself, to create a page for this subject and I would glad if it was created. --Historyday01 (talk) 20:14, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Does not lack completely potential and is not problematic even if blanked, making deletion here ill-advised. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 09:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Amended to strong per UnitedStatesian below. This now seems more like a battle for the soul of freedom from the constraints of arbitrary time limits in the userspace. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 00:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Note - The page was actually created in 2003: having sat around for 17 years, it is our oldest userspace draft. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * At least those that bear userspace draft. Older ones not donning the tag likely exist. WP:DUD recommends not using the tag; this likely would not have came to light without it, hence such advice seems sage. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 00:04, 1 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - It was also seemingly draftifyed to the mainspace from the userspace despite existing since 2003, which would conflict with the current guidance (which were clarified recently). Inviting Graeme Bartlett, who performed the action, to weigh in. This also strengthens my keep sentiment. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 00:11, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep It was deleted as a result of db-web in 2011, despite its survival for several years before. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion&oldid=855457231#El_Goonish_Shive for a request to undelete. user:Mèþru said "It was deleted in 2010 for being non-notable, but I think it's notability has changed", so I undeleted and userfied it for them to work on in 2018. I do not see any reason to delete this as Mèþru did work on it, and is still active. WP:no deadline. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:34, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
