Nomination for deletion

I was browsing web.archive.org looking at Wikipedia as it was 10 years ago when I stumbled upon this at http://web.archive.org/web/20040123205659/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_Deletion. Stunningly, it managed to get kept with only 3 keeps out of 10 votes, with such rationales as "This guy exists and is a practicing artist. Not for us to decide if he's the next Picasso" or no rationale at all. These were the days when Wikipedia had no BLP policy, no strongly enforced notability or verifiability policy, and you could "vote" delete or keep for any reason whatsoever at "Votes for Deletion"--and still it only managed to survive by the skin of its teeth.

Even more stunningly, the article is still in Wikipedia ten years later, the one-sentence stub has received nothing but cosmetic edits, no one has added sources, and no one has ever attempted to delete it. I think this is technically not eligible for CSD or BLP-PROD due to its age and the fact it survived a deletion decision, archived at Talk:Svend-Allan Sørensen. In any case, it's an unreferenced BLP and there is no indication of notability. 117.199.191.163 (talk) 10:14, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
