The result was keep, nominator withdrawn (NAC). --NortyNort(Holla) 11:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The tone and EL usage is inappropriate. Jasper Deng(talk) 23:26, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Concept is widely used, even if this article is rubbish. I'll edit it savagely. Greglocock (talk) 23:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic has been notable for four decades, and a book was written in 2009 about the topic, Handbook of Energy Audits. The solution to problems of "tone" is careful, judicious editing, rather than deletion or "savage" editing. Cullen328 (talk) 23:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Having read the thing I think that this AfD is malicious or at least not useful. There are a few problems in the article, but you are right, it needs a bit of a look, not savage editing. Greglocock (talk) 23:40, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
KeepWP:UGLY is not a reason to delete an article. Nimuaq (talk) 23:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Improve and Keep. Which external links are problematic? The embedded ones, or the ones listed in the External links section? I've read the WP:EL page and fail to see how that's a rational for deletion; at worst, proper citations should be done, with some housekeeping on the more spammish links. The tone could be improved (parts read like a brochure).--E8 (talk) 23:42, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
