The result was Speedy keep per WP:SKCRIT #3. I appreciate that the nominator is new to AfD, but formatting issues are most certainly not a valid reason for deletion, and even as formatting issues go, these are pretty minor. I strongly recommend that the user better familiarize themselves with Wikipedia:Deletion policy and continue to contribute to AfDs in order to gain experience in the area.

- Delete. This page should be deleted because of the reasons given in the template message on the page.There are "WP:MOS issues throughout, overquoting, style of writing, wikilinking, curly quotes, citation cleanup ... and more." No major fixes have been done recently, this template message has been on here for two years, and this article should be deleted under the terms of WP:MOS.

- Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2017 March 3. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 04:29, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. We should perhaps request other editors for help in getting the article in lines with MOS. In my opinion, the faults within the article aren't egregious enough for this to be nominated for deletion. Anyway, I don't believe non-adherence to MOS could be a proper deletion reason in Afds.

- Speedy Keep – is this a joke? Since when has using curly quotes been a reason for deletion? Please read WP:Deletion is not cleanup. Laurdecl talk 06:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
