• Comment: I agree with the reviewer's and AFD observers' arguments. The sources are improperly given. And most importantly two contributors are likely in connection with this topic with previous AFD experience and might be the same person (technically sockpuppet master) by the same name EDM. Still, I have no strong argument in this regard. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 14:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
