Article Russell D. Smith listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion July 1 to July 7 2004, page was redirected. Discussion:

No Google hits whatsoever. Creepy, POV and a possible rant. I think I saw a new article for "Free Russell Smith" as well. - Lucky 6.9 05:23, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• I got about 30 hits from Google [[1]] Joyous 05:37, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
• Hmm...interesting. I tried Googling the opening sentence and not just the name. Still, only thirty hits? - Lucky 6.9 05:41, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Abstain, but leaning toward delete: I have heard the other person mentioned in the article, "Stop Prison Rape," interviewed on the radio. It's probably a legitimate article, but this argues, really, for an article on prison rape or Stop Prison Rape that would then have the essentials of R.D.Smith's story in it.

• There are POV issues, but the material is basically encyclopedic. If it belongs elsewhere with a redirect, fine. Either keep (and de-POV) or redirect to Stop Prison Rape, or something... -- Jmabel 00:16, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
• keep. 16,000 hits for Russell Smith stop prison rape. In it's present form I'm not sure moving it is the best solution, but I would support that over deletion. Niteowlneils 04:08, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Oh, I finally found Stop Prisoner Rape, Inc.. Still seems like a merge might kinda overwhelm that article. Niteowlneils 04:11, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
