Comment: This is an AfD. This is about whether this article is encyclopedic and notable by Wikipedia's standards. There is no standard by which we can judge whether this is a "good faith" or "bad faith" nomination, nor ''should'' we, because Wikipedia requests that we |assume good faith and |avoid personal attacks. I'm noticing a distinct lack of |civility in this discussion, and the closing admin will likely note that as well. This is not about Tbeatty, Crockspot, or anyone else and their political affiliations. That is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, and if you feel they are conducting a purge of articles based off of their PoV, this is not the place to address that. Those involved have repeatedly been admonished to take their dispute through the |standard resolution process and have persisted in carrying on said dispute on this AfD's page. I just want to state to all involved that you need to take this to talkpages, RfC, ArbCom, or really ''anywhere but here''. If this continues here I ''will'' post a request to the /I|Administrators' Noticeboard to end it the hard way

Comment: Per , "the person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." I'm not a fan of the political ideals that Stephenson promoted, and I find Democratic Underground to be a rich source of unintended humor, but what I like least of all is when people can't resist dragging politics into Wikipedia. Stephenson plainly meets , the good faith of many of the voters here both pro- and con- is plainly questionable, this article should never have been nominated for deletion, and it should be '''kept
