BTW, I see nothing wrong with people going to VFD/AFD and voting
"keep" on their topic area. You know, they might KNOW THE AREA or
something better than nonspecialist VFD regulars. What a thought, eh?
I've said that several times now...
It's not them voting "keep" that is a problem. Often people vote keep
on topics that interest them merely because they want that topic in
Wikipedia regardless of whether it's actually good for the
encyclopedia. Still, as long as they provide sources as to why it
should be kept, I don't see much of a problem either.
