- I would point out that AfD is a discussion and not a vote and therefore does not work if one simply writes "keep" or "delete" without stating their reasoning. Soltak | Talk 00:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have heard that before but going by previous discussions it does not matter what people think only the closing admin. One example is an article had the result of keep but the closing admin redirected it and locked the page so it could not be reversed. Anyway whats the point in writing "Keep - Because i don't think it should be deleted", when just a plain keep can do. DXRAW 02:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- ....erm, because "Keep because I don't want it deleted" is not a valid argument and the closing admin will most likely disregard it anyway - see WP:ATA, specifically the bit that says Any statement that just consists of "Keep" or "Delete" with a signature is almost certainly not going to be considered by the admin making the final decision, and changing "Keep" to "Strong keep" will not make it any more relevant. Try to present actual reasons as to why the article/template/category/whatever should be kept/deleted, and try to make sure it's an argument based on the right reasons.
