[edit] Les Balsiger

del A decent man, but seems to fail notability criteria (even forgetting that it is unreferenced) `'mikka 01:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• I do not agree, he is a well known person in Oregon and think he should remain —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.111.81.43 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 27 December 2006. — 71.111.81.43 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Then you need very rapidly to come up with some reliable secondary sources that establish his notability, say in some Oregon newspapers or the like. CyberAnth 02:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Absolutely non-notable. May be speedyable per {{db-bio}}, as I'm not sure there's any claim of significance besides being a humanitarian. -- Kicking222 01:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or provide sources that prove his notability. ← ANAS ^Talk? 01:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable failing WP:BIO, does not WP:CITE sources, and Speedy Delete by CSD:A7. Article has been tagged. wtfunkymonkey 01:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not sufficiently notable --Kevin Murray 02:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I tried to discern why he is notable enough but just could not. CyberAnth 01:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - No substantial assertion of notability. Wouldn't object to a speedy deletion. ScottW 02:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unreferenced nn notable bio.--Dakota 02:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable and a bit embarrasing for EOU. This article was written and submitted by Lesb246 (talk • contribs). Lesb246 was repeatedly asked not to spam Wikipedia. After Lesb246 repeatedly violated community norms and Wikipedia guidelines such that he/she was temporarily blocked by Wikipedia, an anonymous editor, 71.111.81.43 (talk • contribs), a Verizon user in Oregon, then began editing this article. 71.111.81.43 also deleted an pro-deletion AfD comment. Sadly for Les Balsiger, when all this is over, the only Wikipedia reference left to him when searching Google for "Les Balsiger" in a few days will a be a link to this AfD -- an embarrassing record of this article and its editor, Lesb246. --A.

• Delete fails WP:BIO TSO1D 04:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:BIO and any reasonable understanding of what an encyclopedia would or should include. -- Siobhan Hansa 04:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:BIO Bec-Thorn-Berry 04:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as above. Also consider action against anonymous editor 71.111.81.43 (talk • contribs). --Charlene 04:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence from WP:RS indicating that subject meets WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 07:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Absolute vanity. Close to the most non-notable thing I've ever seen. Spinach Dip 09:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
