[edit] Mathew Enoch Mount

Article created by its subject, a non-notable person Blainster 23:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, as the only evidence of notablility is the subject's own web site, and some self-published books. --Blainster 00:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. It was tagged as a speedy delete and still should be, but an anon IP address with no other edits removed that --ArmadilloFromHell 01:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Do not Delete In Illinois colleges and universities can be contacted about open record reports of educational awards. Also note that news paper articles are now available online, and organizations founded are a matter of public record that can be freely verified by anyone. Note that I made the article, and I can verify details about the subject. Also note that correspondence between Randall Auxier and Mathew Mount as well as other great authorities is published in correspondence form. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.230.135.203 (talk • contribs) 10:30, September 19, 2006 (UTC)
  • This entry should be discounted, because it is by the non-notable person himself! --Blainster 18:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. --DeLarge 19:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Thee Not I was just looking at one of the works of Mr. Mount entitled Lover's Myth and Eternal Union (http://www.shadowpoetry.com/bookstore/loversmyth.html ) when I realized how much of a value that his work is to the creative writing community. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.230.74.185 (talk • contribs) 20:47, September 19, 2006.
  • Matthew, you can only vote once, and because you wrote the article about yourself, it must be discounted. Wikipedia establishes notability by the published work of other people about a person. --Blainster 22:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I have witnessed this gentlemen's involvement at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, and hold him to be a trustworthy person. I met him during the Spring 2006 semester of college in the class entitled PHIL 305B Modern Philosophy: moral/political philosophy; instructed by Professor Andrew Youpa. Also, I have engaged in discussion with him and Professor Randal Auxier during Apologia meetings, a Registered Student Organization, here at SIUC. I frequently help him with his RSO's Gospel table within the SIUC student center. I also attend Mr. Mount's Temple of Faith Ministries, as conducted in the Interfaith Center here in Carbondale, IL. I have spoken via telephone to Bishop Gentry, and can verify their acquaintance and friendship. I am also a member of his Google group entitled Jesus on the Web. Likewise, almost all the things within Mathew Enoch Mount's Wikipedia page can be accessed through public records. Again, I hold him to be a trustworthy and reliable person. His page should be allowed to stay and, due to his dyslexia, only minorly revised. My name is Adam Colbert and I am a music student at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.230.135.202 (talk • contribs).

Please stop posting under these IP addresses - we consider you to be the same person and it's just weakening your case. --ArmadilloFromHell 03:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Do Not Delete - My name is Colin West and I live in Mr. Mount's Dorm. He is the real deal, I've seen his drivers license - so his name, address, and age are accurate. He also wears a priest outfit every day and goes in to very long discourse about his beliefs. No man could make up the stuff that comes out of his mouth, so it must be real. He is, indeed, an odd character, but this is no reason to delete his page. Good Day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.230.55.99 (talk • contribs) 06:15, September 20, 2006.

Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Verifiability are all valid reasons to delete the article. A reason to keep the article has not yet been established. And I'm quite impressed with such a campaign self-promotion by a man of the cloth. Isn't pride (superbia) one of the seven deadly sins? --DeLarge 07:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom (and it's pretty fucking shameful how he's tried to stack the discussion) --Charlesknight 00:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
