:On a side point, once someone has made a deletion nomination, it's open for the community to decide whether they want the article to be deleted. It is not just the nominator's decision - an administrator will see after five days or so whether a consensus has been reached and act on it.

::I don't think the nominator should close an AfD that he opened himself if Delete votes from others are already on record. Anyone who is sufficiently concerned about this can open a [[WP:DRV]]. I notice that the above comments about spamming the [[Military brat]] article seem to be well-justified. The [[Military brat]] article doesn't seem to meet the burden of [[Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms]]. The brat article's [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=44766 Reference #3], from the American Forces Press Services, uses "military brat" in quotes, suggesting that to them it's not a generally accepted word, just an epithet used by a few people. Most of the references cited in the [[Military brat]] don't seem to use the phrase 'military brat', so the article should perhaps be kept but under a different title.

:::: While I'm not disputing the [[Military Brats]] article has been spammed or making any judgement on its use of the term Military Brat and its references, I'm unsure how that relates to the authors bio in question [[Michelle Ferguson-Cohen]]. The rerference you are disputing is from [[Military Brats]] and not [[Michelle Ferguson-Cohen]].--[[Special:Contributions/72.229.10.154|72.229.10.154]] ([[User talk:72.229.10.154|talk]]) 18:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
