The result was keep; in five days, given it was a procedural nomination, there has been no reason given to delete, and several good ones to keep the article. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 02:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Came across a few editors who tried to reopen the first and second nominations. Procedural listing, no opinion. MER-C 11:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Since the last nominations the story of Matt Harding's video has been the topic of several newspaper articles (La times, wash post, guardian). This meets the threshold for notability- that tag should be removed. If the travel editors of those newspapers found this story to be of interest to their readership I think this should be left up for wikipedia readers. Sidestepping the philosophical issues about whether having this entry will feed egos (see comments in afd1) there should be a central depot at wikipedia where people can find information on this story. Better to err on the side of providing more information than less.Sourcesleuth 11:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Notable. Verifiable.--JayHenry 04:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Passes the "is he more notable than my socks?" test with ease. WMMartin 16:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
