[edit] Alex Linder

Non-notable hatemonger. I would say userfy to User:Amalekite, but he already has a user page. Zoe 06:18, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep the fact that we may find him personally offensive is not a good reason to try to remove a factual and verifiable article. Let's try to get over our own POVs. Having said that, I notice that the information on the page is not verified. We should probably remove it until it can be, and, if it ends up being a stub in the meantime, redirect to Vanguard News Network. Trollderella 06:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Get over yourself, troll. His nomination is for his lack of notability and the fact that he's a Wikipedia user and shouldn't be writing an autobiography of himself, not because of his disgustinginess. Zoe 07:03, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Zoe, I, for one, would appreciate it if you could try to remain civil. I don't think it costs anything to refrain from personal abuse, and it certainly improves the likelihood of reaching agreement. Yours, Trollderella 21:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, troll, I, for one, would appreciate it if you could try not to ascribe motives to me which are not correct. Zoe 04:31, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Zoe, I think the only motive that I ascribed to you was that you were trying to reach agreement. Sorry if that is not true. Trollderella 21:44, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. —Charles O'Rourke 07:04, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Linder is notable for Vanguard News Network. --Gramaic | Talk 08:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - notable. I personally am happy to have an article to know who this person is. - Ta bu shi da yu 09:29, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Absolutely and thoroughly disgusting, but weak keep- notable by association, plus the references suggest he is someone who is a concern. Zoe's concerns that it's an autobiography are now moot thanks to SlimVirgin's rewrite. And although his/her username made me nervous at first, I am now convinced Trollderella is not a troll.

• Merge per the sensible Radiant. Hipocrite 12:26, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Slimvirgin's rewrite. Much as I dislike his politics, he seems to be notable enough. Capitalistroadster 16:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and please do your best to assume good WP:FAITH whenever possible. Hall Monitor 17:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, apparently notable hatemonger. I couldn't find any evidence that this was autobio in the edit history BTW. Sdedeo 18:41, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable hategmonger as above. Also monitored by the anti-defamation league.--Nicodemus75 18:52, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Vanguard News Network. Dottore So 19:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. That he's nn is a pipe dream. Tomer ^TALK 00:28, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Voltaire Sam Vimes 22:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. *drew 23:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep.*DaBomb I think it provides notable information on a man that advocates the murder of billions. Linder is a slightly different topic than VNN, but a merge could work.

• Merge and redirect as per Radiant. Andre (talk) 18:27, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
