    I have semiprotected the article for 3 days. If AFD removal continues after the protection ends, I will protect the article until the end of the AFD. -- ReyBrujo 23:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

    Comment To closing admin and all others. Several sources have been introduced, but I'm not sure about their quality. There is still a COI, as the article was started and edited as an WP:AB. So I'm not withdrawing the nomination, but you may want to consider this. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 20:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes it is me, that has worked and invested so much into making this article a worthwhile addition to Wikipedia, having the article in the deletion process has been wonderful, and has taught me much about Wikipedia. I'm still learning, yes at the start I panicked and tried to delete the whole thing. I have not always signed on, yet I have been using one computer during the whole review process. The help I have received from people more experienced than me has been great. The article has been improved and anyone who needs the actual facts in their hands can ILL any of those journals or get them in many research libraries, if you have trouble I can help with that. Bangtale International was a small press affair, (1000 copies) I can forward to anyone if that is an issue. The part about nobility is somewhat in the range of social experiences. The various involvement in strong publications helps. I do have that MA in Information science where objectivity was drilled into me, day, after month, after year, yet I still miss things and make mistakes. . . thanks for your very useful insight. When bias towards one particular point of view can be detected, the article needs to be fixed. (If this is detected send a comment) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wedudley (talk • contribs) 04:02, 22 March 2007.
  • Comment 66.167.47.114 & 74.0.117.243 are me at the same computer, I cannot explain that, can anyone else? >Wedudley 05:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)<
  • Comment This small article keeps getting beat up for lack of nobility and yet it is about A person who has been the subject of secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. The depth of coverage of the subject is not always big yet multiple independent reliable sources have been cited. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.167.42.14 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Bangtale International was not a zine, it was a very expensive well produced (offset) journal, with a board and many international contributors, It was not a vehicle for the publisher to showcase his own work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.167.130.10 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
