AFD

For grins, I reread the AFD on this. Funny to go back and look at it. I think I made some great deletion arguments and when I went back to the top to see what the admin said when closing it, I noticed that this was a "non-admin closure"! Too bad the proper procedures weren't followed on this (at least by today's standards). — X96lee15 (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@X96lee15: I'm not following which of "today's standards" you think were not followed. At any rate, feel free to see if consensus has changed.—Bagumba (talk) 10:47, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Funny, I just re-read the AfD and came to the opposite conclusion, that the decision was correct. Taylor still owns the college scoring record, he still got ungodly press over is and is still getting some press about it as recently as six months ago (otherwise known as ten days before Lee posted this comment) Rikster2 (talk) 12:42, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
