[edit] Veloso (artist)

Abstain This is a page about me. I don't make this nomination lightly: It feels slightly improper to nominate "your own" article, and as such I have abstained from voting. I feel odd simply nominating it, and have posted an essay for those who want to know my thoughts and motivations. That said...

Animation may be notable but artist is not. Personal web page has Alexa rank of 1.2 million. Article is a stub that doesn't appear it can ever be suitably expanded. Redirect to Yatta#Irrational_Exuberance and fix disambiguation page Veloso to do the same. Vslashg (talk) 22:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep the author of some of the most famous web animations and memes is notable. That being said, the page needs to be rewritten ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 00:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as above. Lhlhlh 07:15, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge & redirect -- if Mr.V would prefer not to be on Wiki, but his facts can be merged in what Swatjester reckons is his "claim to fame", and a redirect left to guide "lookers-for-the-name", I see little harm -- Simon Cursitor 07:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - It's not that I'd prefer not to be on the wiki. Having an article here is actually pretty cool. I'm just not sure how the article could ever be expanded beyond its stub state. If Wikipedia concensus is to keep, I'll happily live by that. I'm not on a crusade to get the article removed, and beyond my notability concerns, I don't have any problem with the article existing.

• Keep per Swatjester. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
