The result was keep after cleanup. Sandstein 21:27, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like an attack page, but the subject seems to be fairly notable, so I didn't delete it outright under A6. Requesting comment here, but I suggest deletion without prejudice toward recreation. theProject 06:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom (changed again). MER-C 10:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
*Speedy delete. THe way I read it, A6 doesnt specify that it applies only to nn subjects; "..Pages that serve no purpose but to disparage their subject.." This meets that criterion, and then some. Delete without prejudice, and do it soon, its a giant WP:BLP violation.Hornplease 08:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as an attack page. So tagged. MER-C 10:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The attack version of this article was introduced by Tell no lie (talk · contribs) - I have since removed those contributions, no !vote on the article itself. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 10:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. Good point. Since the article in that version seems backed up by citations, and he seems to be the subject of several mainstream media reports, I suppose he meets WP:BIO; also, per recent ArbCom decisions, the page isnt mainly criticism, so it can stand. Changing my vote to Keep. Hornplease 11:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep the cleaned-up version. I couldn't understand why people were saying it was no longer an attack page until I realized that User:Tell no lie had reverted Hornplease's improvements (removing the AfD notice in the process). Just to be clear, I'm voting to keep this version of the article. Admins should keep an eye on User:Tell no lie, who may have to be blocked if s/he doesn't learn Wikipedia norms.

- Keep; and watch for vandalism Not an attack; notable per WP:Bio; simply was vandalised. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 21:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I think given the number of newspaper articles cited in the article, it should stay. He is clearly famous. Sam Blacketer 22:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
