 ***Don't worry, outright breaches of WP:CIVIL are more severe than that. I have to disagree with you that a closer shouldn't consider the fact that an article is rewritten during the course of the debate. AFD is not all about vote counting, even though that is probably the most significant factor when a debate is closed, it is not the only one. Factors such as rewrites (which address the reasons provided for the delete votes), votes given without reason, or a provided reference for an article believed to be a hoax or unverifiable, influence my decision, and may swing a close call where the vote count is close to a two-thirds majority. Such discretion can occasionally (but more rarely) go the other way too, I have sometimes closed debates as ""delete"" even though there has not been a two thirds majority. Take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Primary Route Destinations in the United Kingdom for example.   "
