While I don't necessarily agree with the decision
(I think there was
no consensus either way), one can see how some of the votes might have
been given greater weight than others. For example:
"Keep, we winning the fight aginst school deletionism."
"Keep. I heard from Aranda56 that we needed more votes for this article."
"Keep I heard from Radman's sisters' aunts' brothers' cousins'
girlfriends' sister that this needed to be kept!"
"Keep."
Also:
"*Delete."*
*"Delete*. Usual reasons."
"*Delete* not worthwhile"
So disregarding "low value" votes doesn't look like it swings the vote
clearly in one direction or the other to me, unless one selectively
disregards poorly-supported votes on one side but not on the other. I
certainly wouldn't mind a policy encouraging disregarding such votes,
mind you, I just don't think it would make a difference here.
