This article fails WP:GNG, has had no citations since it was created 14 years ago, hasn't had any content additions in 14 years (though editors have added wikilinks and an infobox [1]), and is basically complete original research (because of lack of citations). I can't be sure, but I don't even think it's a music album. Maybe this content belongs in some other article (maybe PETA, Animal liberation movement, or even Dan Mathews), but as best I can tell it doesn't qualify for a standalone article.

  • And you, Doomsdayer520, should familiarize yourself with WP:No original research (a core content policy) and WP:No personal attacks before insulting me as not doing this week what no one else had done for this article in 14 years! You should look at the version of the article I encountered before everyone started working on it after AfD was started. Now that people who care about this article have shown up and improved the article (though I notice you haven't), the article can stick around per WP:The Heymann Standard. But if no one cared then the non-sourced OR article would get deleted by default. So, if all you have to contribute to AfD discussions is to insult nominators for not performing well enough to your standards what you weren't willing to do yourself, hadn't done, and neither had anyone else, then you should consider staying away from AfD discussions lest you run off more editors. At least my contribution has resulted in an improved encyclopedia; your contribution has only resulted in pissing me off. Recognize that AfDs are not competitions, are not inherently adversarial, and can (and often do) result in improvements to Wikipedia. Normal Op (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There was no personal attack, and Doomsdayer wasn't even close to advocating original research. Don't be ridiculous. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:48, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you to Josh Milburn for serving as a voice of reason. If a recommendation to become familiar with some policies is a "personal attack", I would love to see how Normal Op reacts to something that is truly insulting. It would probably be to write yet another giant paragraph that consumes far more time than simply improving the article in question. ☆ DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) ☆ 17:11, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
