Keep, useful and interesting, I can't see how it fits Indiscriminate, and it does no harm (if some readers find it useful, why remove it? When a still good ship is put out to pasture just let it sail.

Another link to the same essay not vetted by the community. An article being useful and interesting to Wikipedia readers, while still maintaining an encyclopedic tone, seems like a fine point to make in defense of keeping a page.

Randy Kryn: It's pointing out why essays are mentioned and why you should also state your opinion with the discussion. In other words, you shouldn't put the essay as the only reason. There's no catch 22. In fact, the argument provided from a previous AfD in 2007 gives caution that
consensus can change. (and most likely explains why it wasn't speedy deleted when recreated in 2016) –
