Please complete the following sentence: I believe the AfD was closed incorrectly because _______, and want to see _______ happen instead. See WP:DRVPURPOSE. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:02, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse the AfD obviously, there was nothing wrong with the closure or consensus, and no attempt was done to contact the admin (while admittedly is irregular on Wikipedia, but still). I am actually shocked RoySmith didn't close this already as it fails WP:DRVPURPOSE completely. My advice: create the new article, no ban/salt on the subject has happened and the AfD happened in mid-2018 (and the new sources you posted would surely prevent any G4). On the other side, there are also WP:COI issues here per the username (Albert Read is the executive of Conde Nast UK). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse - bad faith nomination. Nominator blocked for commercial editing and username violation. MER-C 21:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
