Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Renard (4th nomination)
The DRV for the last review was closed  with linked advice not to re-nominate within two-month's time: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2017_July_28&oldid=793870466#Gary_Renard_.28closed.29. Three hours later, after seeing that the DRV was closed, I began improving the article by adding text cited to reliable independent third-party sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Renard&type=revision&diff=793895796&oldid=792737770. Two hours later, jps, who filed the previous AfD and who has repeatedly non-neutrally canvassed these AfDs, gutted the article by removing 1,772 bytes of text instead of tagging {{cn}}: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Renard&type=revision&diff=793915288&oldid=793895796. Three hours later, defying the advice of the DRV-closing admin, {{noping|S Marshall}} opened this fourth AFD '''less than 10 hours after the DRV close'''. To repeat what I've stated previously, the subject easily meets #2 of  and #1 and #3 of . The current state of the article does not change that fact. The fact of the matter is that providing abundant sourced text for the article is more time-consuming than it was several years ago because of the current state of how GoogleBooks and Google itself works, and also because Amazon no longer allows "Search Inside This Book". Searches for this subject require more targeted searches and take time. If there hadn't been all of the drama created by the four-fold non-neutral canvassing (of the previous AFD, the DRV, this AfD, and the ANI) and the immediate (less than 10 hours after the DRV) re-nom, this article would have easily been drastically improved in two month's time (the time length indicated in the DRV-closing admin's links
