::::What happened was someone came into IRC discussing this AFD, but in fact, they were more for supporting keeping of this article. Indeed, I was notified, which is permitted, but not canvassed, because that implies an inclination to make editors vote a certain way. No one asked me to comment in favor of delete on this AFD. I simply saw it being discussed and decided to voice my 2cents. I did not participate in the IRC discussion, I just saw it as I was going about my day. <span style="text-shadow:#A2E1FC 2px 2px 9px;">— [[User:Kikichugirl|<font face="Palatino Linotype" color="#000000">kikichugirl</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kikichugirl|<font color="#8A37F0">oh hello!</font>]]</sup></span> 06:03, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::Indeed, canvassing is often appropriate. In fact, any post on a noticeboard fits the definition of 'canvassing.' The reason the posting on the nim irc is inappropriate [[WP:CANVASSING|canvassing]] is that it was both off-wiki (see 'stealth canvassing') and a biased audience (see 'vote stacking'). We can argue whether or not the posting of it on the official wikipedia IRC is inappropriate stealth canvassing, but the nim IRC is certainly more of a violator on this front than the official wikipedia IRC due to its lack of transparency. I do concede that the message in the nim IRC is not a biased message (not 'campaigning') as the forum post originally was, though there were other postings to that IRC in the logs, but as stated, it has other issues transparency-wise and audience-wise. ―<span style="background:#8FF;border:solid 1px;border-radius:8px;box-shadow:darkgray 2px 2px 2px"> [[User:Padenton|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;color:#C00">Padenton</span>]]|[[User talk:Padenton|✉]] </span> 15:50, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' per Hut 8.5. The sources are trivial, or not independent, or [[WP:RUNOFTHEMILL|run-of-the-mill]] fluff. [[User:Reyk|<font color="Maroon">'''Reyk'''</font>]] <sub>[[User talk:Reyk|'''<font color="Blue">YO!</font>''']]</sub> 06:52, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
