[edit] Gateway anykey

Delete: I (the original author) intend for this page to be deleted as it is original work and frankly now that I've been notified of some of your asinine and elitist policies I'd rather not have anything to do with it. Zero DgZ 21:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Article seems to have merit. significant mention of this article on google, and product was notable. Phantasmo 19:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and kick some asses of overzealous wikipedia snobs, who scared off a useful contributor, see contributions of User:Zero DgZ and an evidently unwarranted comment at User talk:Zero DgZ. Mukadderat 20:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Ease up there. The comment on his talk page is in response to the total unexplained blanking of the page in question here, and was caught by one of our RC patrollers. It certainly wasn't unwarranted, and I can't find evidence of this so-called snobbery either. WP:AGF applies to the Cabal too :) (ESkog)^(Talk) 21:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
    • "unexplained" is a good word and applies to both sides. I revoke my unwise term "snobbery". It was rather rubberstamping without looking into the history of contributions of the editor. If someone writes a big article and then blanks it, I would find this worrisome and deserving a meaningful dialog, rather than sending a person to sandbox. Mukadderat 22:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You will not find evidence of snobbery on Wikipedia in relation to this user. I'm afraid I am the source of the trouble - I am very close to the author of this article and when he sent me a link to it via instant message, I scolded him for writing too much about a computer keyboard and using an unencylopedic writing style. (I believe my exact words were "This isn't Epinions") Zero DgZ is a regular user of Everything2 and already harbored some animosity towards the stereotypical Wikipedia user. My apologies for shunning a potential editor and sorry for the unecessary eDrama as well. It was not my intention to have a personal squabble leak into public. Indi^talk 15:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup - A little *too* detailed for a general encyclopedia article, but good otherwise. FCYTravis 04:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. There is no reason to delete this article except for the request of its author, which is unfortunate but invalid. (Note: After this AfD vote is resolved, the article should be moved to Gateway Anykey.) –Sommers ^(Talk) 12:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. I agree with FCYTravis's comment in regards to the article containing a bit too much information. It can surely be condensed. Indi^talk 15:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a little long, but really not that long. It's well-written and should stay (even if the original author doesn't think so... we don't have article ownership here). Should be moved to Gateway Anykey. -- Jake 06:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
