I just wanted to be sure that you knew that it occurred to me that the first thing you should do is take this up with the individual who closed the AfD discussion in question, Backslash Forwardslash / (talk); I've left you a further note on my talk page to that effect.

Mikael Johnston article

Hi Lishlet, I agree with you that there's been enough published about Mikael Johnston to warrant a stub article. I read User:Backslash Forwardslash's rationale of why he came to the decision delete the article at AfD and it's logical and makes sense. I don't disagree with that decision based on what was posted at the AfD. I've been busy so didn't take the time to write up a cohesive argument. It might make sense to take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. I would make the case that SF Weekly, Allmusic, East Bay Express, and Keyboard Magazine obviously are reliable sources and enough to meet WP:N. I think the overwhelming number of questionable sources, the fact that it was an autiobiography, and the number of single use accounts jumping into the discussion, clouded that. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Sources for what exactly constitutes a reliable source on Wikipedia. If you stick to using sources that meet those criteria, I don't see how any editor acting in good faith wouldn't welcome the article. dissolve^talk 19:49, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
