Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Broderick

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy deleted as non-notable biography; redirected to The_Impressions (Australian_band). That the individual who nominated this for deletion did so from a single-purpose account does not decrease the merit of the argument that the individual is not notable outside the notability of the band.

There is no reason why someone as insignificant as this needs to be in Wikipedia. It looks as if he made the page himself. Dan broders 07:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a non-notable vanity page. Dramatically overstates this person's importance in Melbourne. -- Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 07:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Additional comment I just noticed: is this a bad faith nomination? Why is the nom's username the same as the person in the article, and why was his first post this AfD? -- Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 07:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment It might have something to do with this edit. Can anyone find evidence that Daniel Broderick is the 'award winning author' of anything, btw? I haven't found anything about the band after a brief look either. Kind regards, --Greatwalk 13:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep for now per SPA aacount nom. Alf^Photoman 15:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Unable to find any reliable sources via Google for the man's writing award (searched ["Daniel Broderick" award*] finding multiple references to an award named after an American attorney, but nothing useful, and ["Daniel Broderick" author OR writer] comes up with us at the top, and nothing that looks like a short story in the first 20 hits. As for his playing in the band, searching ["Daniel Broderick" Impressions -wikipedia] gives 34 total 24 unique hist, which are by the majority Wikipedia clones (despite the neg qualifier) or where the word Impression does not appear to be used in the context of a band name. Google News has nothing recent for an Australian musician. As such, delete as externally unverifiable at this time, and possibly failing the Wikipedia:Notability guideline and sub-guidelines. -- saberwyn 20:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Question: Is "Keep because I don't trust the nominator" a valid reason against deletion in cases that aren't blatant vandalism? -- saberwyn 20:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
