[edit] Ernie Wetzler

Delete (or at least userfy). Possible vanity; subject is not notable. BD2412 T 19:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete with all haste. No indicia of notibility, even if assertions are true. Briangotts (talk) 20:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This subject is very close to my heart and should not be deleted. The subject matter is very notable and merits inclusion in the Wikipedia. 208.247.255.11 23:13, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity and non-notable. But preserve the picture for his mother show to unsuitable future girlfriends. Every parent should have at least one buttock-clenchingly embarrassing photo of their sons, just in case. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 20:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I disagree with deleting this article. Ernie Wetzler's accomplishments are quite notable. Not only was he awarded the HOPE Scholarchip (which is quite impressive on its own merits), but he also went on to become the youngest VP in the history of FIU Law School. Where does one draw the line on what is notable and what does not meet that threshold? It all seems quite arbitrary. Lopman 02:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Above is Lopman's third edit. I'm afraid I'd have to doubt the notability inherent in being the youngest-ever VP of a law school that just graduated its first class this year. BD2412 T 02:39, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
    • According to BD2412's user page, he too attended FIU Law School. Based on this fact, I'd have to question whether his push to have this article deleted is based upon jealousy for having not been Vice President or personal malice towards the subject matter as opposed to any objective consideration of the merits of its notability. Lopman 20:20, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
      • If he was at Harvard or Yale, and the youngest Vice President in the history of the law school, that would still not constitute encyclopedic notability. BD2412 T 20:33, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is quite interesting and could be of valuable use to people studing Ernie Wetzler's works. 68.48.241.47 06:21, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • ^{User:68.48.241.47's fourth edit. BD2412 T 01:32, 11 November 2005 (UTC)}
• Delete. I think the self-important photo says it all—this is pure vanity. Law school class vice-presidents are not notable, outside the context of an employment resumè. He hasn't yet performed any "works" that anyone would consider worth studying. Postdlf 21:44, 10 November 2005 (UTC) (GULC, '05)
• Delete quickly, borderline speedy deletion candidate. Nothing within this article expresses notability, nor does it meet any of the inclusion criteria set forth by WP:BIO. The name "Ernie Wetzler" returns a mere 11 matches on Google. [1] Hall Monitor 21:53, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • If you searched on Google, you probably noticed that there is a web page devoted to the man where he is referred to as "The Intimidator" [2]. Notable? I think so. Lopman 23:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Pathetic is more like it. To think that a law student's ego is so thin and fragile that he not only needs to buttress it with a self-written encyclopedia article, but also to waste time casting "votes" (which will just be disregarded anyway) to try and defend his own flacid sense of self-worth. Ernie deserves our pity. Postdlf 23:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
    • But didn't you make this web page, Lopman? — brighterorange (talk) 01:22, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Borderline speedy. And, for full disclosure here, I am jealous. Very jealous. I think I may have to go to my room and cry. -R. fiend 22:46, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I had to do a report about Ernie for my social studies class and if it wasn't for this page I would have had nothing to present! 64.198.200.83 23:45, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • ^{User:64.198.200.83's only edits. BD2412 T 01:32, 11 November 2005 (UTC)}
• delete or userfy. The achievements cited don't really confer notability. — brighterorange (talk) 01:22, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN --Rogerd 02:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. At first glance, this looked to me like another vain autobiography that should be speedily deleted, but after viewing that video, I must agree that Mr. Wetzler is quite notable. Zathura 04:49, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • But not very bright, if he thinks the "vote" of a user who never previously contributed to Wikipedia is going to count for anything.[3] Postdlf 04:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and cockpunch all sockpuppets. --Last Malthusian 20:51, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable, added with the noisy sockpuppet. *drew 02:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This is clearly vanity, subject is not noteable in the least Yurigerhard 00:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or move to the user page side. Yamaguchi先生 15:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
