Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Orly Taitz (2nd nomination)

I suggest that you keep. As long as she serves as a mouthpiece for this view, then people will need answers as to her veracity for making such statements. I suggest an in-depth investigation to determine her true educational and professional background to answer many of these questions. --24.147.100.116 (talk) 01:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

This is completely ridiculous. Yes, AFD is not a vote. But here's what WP:DP says about deletion discussions:

''These processes are not decided through a head count, so participants are encouraged to explain their opinion and refer to policy. The discussion lasts at least seven days; afterwards, pages are deleted by an administrator if there is consensus to do so. If there is no rough consensus and the page is not a BLP describing a relatively unknown person, the page is kept and is again subject to normal editing, merging or redirecting as appropriate. Discussions on relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus may be closed as delete.''

I'm not sure whether Taitz qualifies as "relatively unknown" but even if she does, that would still require that "the subjected has requested deletion" and I've seen no evidence that Taiz requested deletion. As such, the decision to close the discussion as "Delete" seems to have been completely inappropriate. john k (talk) 23:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review
A deletion review is ongoing at Deletion review/Log/2009 July 31. Anyone who wishes to endorse or contest the debate's closure should do so there, not here. —David Levy 23:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
