Articles for deletion/Bible


I stumbled upon this discussion because it was listed rather plainly in the Article history template at Talk:Bible. The discussion remained open for all of 24 minutes and the nominator was blocked indefinitely a few hours later as a vandalism-only account. This all happened almost a decade ago. Per WP:DENY, we should not be advertising this troll nomination to everyone who goes to Talk:Bible. I see absolutely no encyclopedic or administrative need to retain this discussion.

 * Delete we don't normally delete AfD's but this is just vandalism. Legacypac (talk) 20:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Neutral - No point to deleting the AFD because the AFD will be closed as keep before this MFD is closed. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The AfD has already been closed as keep. The problem is, the article's article history template prominently advertises the AfD to anyone who accesses the article's talk page. Normally, vandalism such as this would be deleted and forgotten about, but this has remained advertised for about a decade. Mz7 (talk) 05:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)


 * weak keep I removed it from the article history template at Talk: Bible. Not sure whether an old AFD should be deleted. Better seek administrator opinions here. 103.6.159.79 (talk) 14:03, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It's dumb but so is Articles for deletion/Jimbo Wales and plenty of other discussions. I'd prefer keeping it and ignoring it than deleting it. I think it's fine to remove the notice from the talk page though. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
