Deletion of Jerome Vered (2nd nomination)

Comment: or '''Merge'''.  I have to agree with the borderline bad faith edits unfortunately, at least as they apply to Vered for the reasons below.  The nominator cites a) Wikipedia:Recentism; b) ; and c) other comments by other editors in past nominations.  In my opinion, none of these three provide grounds for deletion.  As to Recentism, I can't see how this applies to Vered.  The Recentism page advocates the Wikipedia:Recentism#Suggestions for dealing with recentism|10-year test (i.e. Will this seem important in 10 years?).  This article was created 13 years after Vered appeared on Jeopardy!...I can't imagine stretching recentism that far.  As to the second point, I quote from : "Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article."  The very policy you are using doesn't support deletion; instead, it supports merge and redirecting.  Perhaps I'm reading that wrong, but if you wanted to create List of Notable Jeopardy! Champions and merge all the information, that'd be fine, but I fail to see how that policy provides independent grounds for deletion.  Finally, as to the other editors, it's been said already: you can't use past AfD nominations like that.  Apparently the nominator tried to post a mass AfD nomination in the past and was told to nominate them individually.  Clearly, the nominator misses the point of posting individually.  If it was okay to post the exact same thing for every single individual article nominated, then it would have been okay to leave it as a mass nomination in the first place.  I haven't really weighed in on the earlier contestants nominated because those were more borderline cases, but the way you phrased this nomination is ridiculous; using Recentism to support your contention that the article was created based on one event 13 years ago?  Ridiculous
