All content was removed here because of copyright infringement; clearly I did a poor job of rewriting as a stub (which I usually try to do in such cases). However, the subject appears to be fully notable by our standards (55 real hits on Google News, several of them highly complimentary, including national press; and 28 hits on Highbeam, mostly local press and so carrying less weight). That's why I did not request deletion under criterion G12, for which it would have been fully eligible. I believe that an interesting article could be made here. I've removed the A7 speedy tag placed by Velella. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am content with that. I thought that I had reverted my CSD nomination,- I certainly retracted the notice to the originating author. A CSD would have failed anyway because of intervening edits. However, it needs a lot of work to avoid a PROD in the near future. VelellaVelella Talk 22:35, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so, Velella. As I understand it, PROD can only be used where "no opposition to the deletion is expected", and since I've already outlined my reasons for opposing deletion on the talk page, that cannot apply here. AfD might succeed if she did not so clearly pass the GNG. I've no interest in the topic and no plans to work on this; stubs are good, I'm content to leave it as one until someone chooses to expand it.
