Reply interrupted by the closing[edit]

Al Gore III, Marcus Bachman, and Nicky Diaz are not precedents.  My reply to one of the comments was interrupted by the closing, so I will post the reply here.  The comment was, "We have evaluated similar cases in the past such as Al Gore's son (it took awhile to stick), Michelle Bachmann's husband, and Meg Whitman's housekeeper." 

I have examined the three examples, and none of the three are applicable.  The first of these was deleted, but the deleted edits were later reverted, diff.  The third has never been deleted, diff.  The second went to DRV, where the closer stated at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 July 26, "...this outcome should not be taken as any kind of precedent...this outcome is an outlier rather then a generally accepted interpretation of community consensus for this kind of discussion."  Unscintillating (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
