[edit] Dare Obasanjo

The article has been tossed back and forth from prod to speedy. I think it belongs here. He works for Microsoft, gets a ton of google hits [1], with our article nowhere near the top. Let's just decide once and for all so people stop changing the tags. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Obasanjo is also the author of RSS Bandit, a popular Windows RSS reader. He is also a son of Olusegun Obasanjo, the present President of Nigeria. Warrens 16:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep, tons of Ghits, [2], etc. --Deville (Talk) 17:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment if you think this should be kept, then you should not have sent it here. It was marked as a speedy - I rejected it as it didn't meet the CSD, but I placed a prod on it to allow some scrutiny. If someone thought it notable, they should have removed the prod and left it at that, it should only be sent here if someone wishes it deleted. Since no-one wants it deleted, speedy keep. --Doc ^ask? 19:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment: If you really wanted the article kept, you shouldn't have added the prod that triggered this AfD (per WP:PROD) in the first place. :-) Warrens 19:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment. It was prodded by User:Terrestrian, the prod was removed, it was tagged for speedy by User:Terrestrian, then Doc, you rejected the speedy and re-prodded it. What the heck? Like NickelShoe said, let's decide once and for all. · rodii · 03:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• I'm not familiar with the dude, and assumed there was some reason people kept trying to get it deleted that I didn't understand. If you want to speedy keep, that's fine with me...you (Doc) are the one who reprodded the article. Moved it here out of courtesy. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a good AfD, because someone with an agenda has been trying to get this article deleted. This gets it on the record as a keep, which it should be. Dare Obasanjo is extremely well known in the world of XML, RSS and related web standards; he's one of the originators of Microformats, and a widely-read blogger. And all the other stuff above. · rodii · 03:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
