[edit] Al Gore III

This article has no bearing on anything to do with an encyclopedia.--Ceruleanblue 02:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per the arguments I made before at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al Gore III (second nomination). --Allen 02:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with all due respect, is this not beating a dead horse? My arguments still stand, why not delete Chelsea Clinton or George P. Bush? If they have been in the news keep them on here, and Gore III has. Why not delete the people on Wikipedia who are simple doctors, lawyers, researchers, teachers etc? Gore III is mentioned in both Gores movie and book, and has brought negative media on him from is illegal acts.--The great grape ape is straight out of the know 03:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I wouldn't call it a dead horse. In each past deletion discussion, a majority of editors supported deleting or merging. Not a consensus in either case, but enough to keep the horse in the race. --Allen 04:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• DeleteThis has no information of value and is intensly not neutral. It doesn't mention anything biographical except his arrest record. Where are his school records or his current activities? --Conja
• Keep I believe he is notable for his accident. This was widely publicized at the time and he should rank above a typical son of a politician for this reason-- Mikemoto 00:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Article could use some cleanup, but Al Gore III easily meets WP:N. --Aaron 16:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - this was already up for AfD on July 25-August 4! Way too soon to re-nominate it! PT ^(s-s-s-s) 20:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As I said in the last AFD, I believe that his legal troubles only made the news due to who his father is. Thus, he is a "biographical subject only in view of his being related to a notable personnage". As we do not believe in notability by relationship, and the U.S. is not a feudal or monarchical country, he is not notable to the WP:BIO standards. GRBerry 01:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Gore III has received lots of coverage for his arrests and for his accident and the ensuing effects. Remember, WP:N is not a formal policy. There is sufficient verifiable, reliable material for the article to be written in a neutral POV. SliceNYC 01:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable due to accident, arrests, per others. - CNichols 15:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per SliceNYC. He has obviously had a signifigant impact on the life and actions of Al Gore, which makes him just as notable as both Roger Clintons. But consider this, how many countless people get busted for reckless driving, DUI and pot possession? Yet why when the Bush daughters, or Noelle Bush or any other "minor" royal do these things they're broadcasted on CNN and the like. People pay attention to these folks because there is notability in who they are and what they do. It is that same notability and curiousity that lead folks to type that name into the search engine here on Wikipedia. There should be an article here to see. Agne 18:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and stop relisting this for deletion, the subject is verifiably notable. RFerreira 22:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep — Please note that the nominator, (Ceruleanblue has a total of 5 edits to wikipedia, counting this AfD nomination. Also note that Conja is linked to Summerlin. (who has 0 edits, though the IP (162.94.28.71 that posted has 26 edits. (but this IP is editing with the username Conja or Summerlin. see diff here. I leave this to others to figure out, but I am going to say strong keep based on the prior nomination being so soon. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 00:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
• speedy keep this one please it is bad faith nomination see also past noms Yuckfoo 18:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Could you elaborate on why you feel this nomination is in bad faith, and what you mean by "also see past noms" (one of which is mine)? --Allen 01:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notorious misfit of the Gore family... as notorious as the bush daughters... etc... if their parents are famous and the subject is just famous for association, that would be one thing... this numbnut is famous for doing retarded things on his own and being related to a major public figure. He certainly qualifies under WP:BIO.  ALKIVAR™ 19:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per the majority of comments made above; the subject is individually noteworthy. Yamaguchi先生 23:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
