[edit] John Scudamore

A biography of User:Whaleto, whose name is not a secret. John Scudamore and vaccination gets ~275 ghits (about 10% of what I get), posting prolifically to Usenet does not constitute notability and that is pretty much the sole claim to notability. John apparently doesn't want this article on Wikipedia, but that is not a reason for keeping it. The site (which is a compendium of crankery, see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Whaleto) does get an Alexa ranking of around 80k, but Wikipedia is the top site linking in, a fact which may not be unrelated to John's contentious addition of his own site to multiple articles.

• Delete, see above. Consequentially 16:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no verifiable information in this except what is posted on personal websites Gleng 16:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment, what is going on here? The article is blank (excluding the AfD notice and talk page) and page history has JzG nomination for deletion as the only edit.--blue520 17:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • the page was speedied, but JzG decided to give it a formal run through here. Above people base their judgement on having read the article before it was speedied. KimvdLinde 17:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • This article was nominated for speedy deletion by Gleng (talk • contribs), and speedied by Luigi30 (talk • contribs), both today. I disagree with the speedy deletion, but will not request review knowing the likely outcome of this AFD. JFW | T@lk 17:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

• Correct. Luigi speedied it between my removing the speedy tag (as notability was asserted) and my nominating for AfD. I think the outcome is not in doubt, I was erring on the side of caution - and just in case anyone could supply details of a substantive claim to notability.

• Delete. Fairly adequate description of internet troll active on many pages on Wikipedia. Has succesfully Google bombed his site by inserting URLs on multiple articles, leading to discussions (for the last 6 months now) as to whether this material is suitable throughout Wikipedia.
