Comment: Jacky Smythe, your conduct on this deletion discussion is unacceptable. You have put in votes for keep at least 4 times, nearly all of which have been crossed out. Please only put one vote and restrict all other comments to, well, comments. Your responses to comments on the deletion discussion are based on "he's done a lot of work" and not on hard facts and Wikipedia policy. And finally, you have pursued at least one user (me) to my talk page and harassed me to give a response to what is a series of argumentative and unsubstantiated statements. Please stop. I can understand if you don't want your article to be deleted, but dogging every editor who puts a comment on this page is not the way to ensure the article stays. I would encourage you to read  and refrain from such nonconstructive behavior in the future
