The result of the discussion was:  keep. With only notionally !voting "keep," that's not enough for a SNOW closure, but given that the nominator was in concurrence with SmokeyJoe that it makes sense to keep the AfD as a historical record, particularly as evidence of 's persistent disruptive editing, I'm closing this early, per WP:IAR and WP:NOTBURO if necessary. One could probably logically infer from nom's concurrence to withdrawing this nomination as "speedy keep," but this close seems reasonable and is unlikely to be challenged at DRV. If nom wants to re-open it, all they need do is ask me, and I will do so. (non-admin closure) Doug Mehus T · C  01:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Please see Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents - this user is abusing the deletion process to target me and make false claims of paid editing. GDX, if you wish to start a deletion debate, you need to propose deletion not submit it for speedy deletion. As you have done the latter here without meeting the Criteria for speedy deletion, I have no choice but to submit this discussion article for deletion. I am also raising your repeated targeting of articles I have written at Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents. You should then re-submit a proper deletion proposal through the usual method set out in How to delete a page. Llemiles (talk) 18:13, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Deleting the AfD is likely to cause confusion, hiding the history of his actions won’t help if needed in the future, and I see no benefit to you or anyone to have it hidden. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks SmokeyJoe. I have never had to deal with this scenario before where a user is purposefully deleting articles without good faith. I agree with your points, recording his actions and letting the deletion debate resolve with time is the best way to go. Llemiles (talk) 23:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , Can I take your reply as a withdrawal of this nomination and close as "speedy keep"? It seems best to take the user to WP:ANI, the conduct forum. Doug Mehus T · C  01:36, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
