WP:SK#1 says: "Absence of delete rationale. Normally the nominator will provide grounds for deletion in the delete rationale, but if (a) the nominator withdraws the nomination, perhaps because of improvements to the article that happen during the AfD, or (b) the nominator failed to give intelligible grounds for content deletion (i.e. arguments that would support deletion, userfying or redirection, perhaps only proposing an alternative action such as moving or merging)", which I interpret as a nom suggesting only a merge is grounds for speedy keep. The alternative to deletion
WP:BEFORE C4 says: "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term." So that BEFORE step was not followed by you. Also, as far as I can tell, you still have not notified the article creator
User:Baratiiman of this AfD. I urge you to read
WP:BEFORE and follow its guidance. --{{u|

I don't read the nom cmt as fitting that criteria,
Steam (service) already talks about the chat in much more detail, and so there is no content actually to merge -- "once removed of cruft/trivia" leaves no content. Also, I've notified the article creator. NixinovaTC21:48, 8 November 2021 (UTC)reply
Thanks for notifying the creator. And fair enough, your interpretation of the nom cmt seems reasonable, too. Perhaps I misunderstood their intent. --{{u|

Keep Per
WP:NEXIST.
WP:BEFORE shows it has a decent amount of coverage from reliable sources, over a long period of time spanning years. At most it should be redirected to
Steam (software) as a section thereof, but outright deletion would not make sense considering it's a viable search term.ZXCVBNM (

Merge per nom. It's covered as a feature of the service, not as an independently notable entity. AfD has been a de facto fine venue for high-visibility merge proposals ever since the
WP:SK#1 rules changed. (not

Merge: This service is part of Steam. There is no reason why a feature should have its own article when a section in Steam would already suffice. I don't think it is independently notable.
