[edit] Eric Goertz

nn criminal in the recent news. did some graffiti and burglarities. It may constitute an attack page. It should be deleted in any case.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 07:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. A quite non-notable criminal. There are thousands of these. Sarg 07:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, the very definition of unsalvageably POV (regardless of whether he is notable or not, although surely not.) Perilously close to an attack page as well. Grandmasterka 07:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Although this article needs editing and possibly slight censorship, it is relevant in today's world and hasn't been properly represented, as you can tell by the references the author has made. The artist "Borf" who was charged in Washington DC had a lesser sentence then Mr. Goertz and about the same media coverage.

• Delete - blatant advocacy of the grievances of a nn individual. Metamagician3000 09:34, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, NN, possible vanity (the article and its fallout represent the creator's sole contributions to Wikipedia) Possibly the judge wouldn't be amused by the degree to which this article implies his lack of genuine remorse. RGTraynor 16:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable enough Masterhatch 17:22, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe to you living on the opposite ends of the country/world the artist isn't notable, but notability for a controversial artist always comes after they're dead or when they achieve world-wide fame. The author plans on contributing more to Wikipedia in the future, everyone has to start somewhere.

• Delete Good luck on the world-wide fame thing. Don't use wikipedia as a springboard towards that goal. ccwaters 22:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there something that can be done about the personal attacks I recieved because of my vote? [1] [2] ccwaters 12:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd recommend plainly ignoring them. Sarg 12:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is a place to take note of notable individuals after they have achieved notability in the real world; it is not a platform for promotion or self-promotion in an attempt to achieve that notability. -- Curps 21:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
