Cultural impact of Michael Jackson
Closing note as well as the subsequent discussion failed to find a rationale behind the close as "no consensus". The correct result of the AfD had to be delete because of the following reasons:
- The article is a WP:POVFORK because all content already exists on Michael Jackson. Article violates WP:OR because of gross misrepresentation of sources and it reads like a total WP:FANPAGE.
- Not a single !vote rejected the fact that the article is a WP:POVFORK, WP:OR and WP:FANPAGE.
- "Keep" !votes only depended on WP:PLENTY, WP:SOURCESMAYEXIST and WP:Clearly notable.
- Off-wiki canvassing and meatpuppetry is a established concern regarding this subject and this has view has been successfully established per this WP:AN thread.
- At least 8/18 Keep !votes were made by off-wiki WP:CANVASSED editors who were not editing for weeks or months before the creation of the AfD. One "Keep" admitted that he was recruited off-wiki.
- On-wiki canvassing was also carried out by Keep supporters.
- One editor who voted for "keep", was calling every "delete" supporter a troll and accusing them of malice. He was topic banned.
- Many "keep" !votes were only spewing their obsession about Michael Jackson, personally attacking editors, bludgeoning, and falsely accusing participants of racism.
- Not a single admin supported keeping the article but multiple admins like Neutrality, Drmies, supported deletion of the article.
Given all of the misconduct and clear-cut deceptive tricks performed by the "keep" votes, one can be easily convinced that not only the "keep" votes lacked any basis to debunk the nomination but demonstrated a lack of WP:AGF. With the formation of such a toxic environment, it must have either falsely convinced many of the editors to either suggest "keep" or just leave the AfD. Nevertheless, there appears to be enough support for the deletion. Excelse (talk) 10:38, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
