[edit] Mike Plapp

I think that this should actually be speedied as patent nonsense about a person for whom there has been no assertion of notability WP:CSD G1 and A7. However, this recently created article has attracted quite a few edits and I thought that in light of that AfD might be a better option Politepunk 09:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

(speedy) Delete - per my nomination - Politepunk 09:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, after the commission of the sitcom "Mike: Attack of the Plapps" I feel this is a noteworthy article. Strong Keep Max Brown 09:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (this comment was made by 212.219.117.140 —Whouk (talk) 11:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC))

• Strong Delete Vanity waste-of-time ka1iban
• Delete, vanity hoax etc.  RasputinAXP  c 15:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, doesn't meet WP:BIO.--Isotope23 15:21, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I suspect this is an attack, rather than vanity. I'm also dubious as to whether the Isle of Wight College is qualified to name someone a professor in the UK sense. Impressive sockpuppetry from 'Max_Brown' there. AlexTiefling 16:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. The answer to whether the college is qualified to do so is "No." That shouldn't affect the discussion, though, since whether the word "Professor" appends to an academic's name in a particular country ought not affect his or her duties there, if the subject otherwise satisfies the Professor Test.

• Strong Delete My original vote was deleted for no reason. Following link shows proof and my original reason why I nominate for Strong Delete: [1] As you can see a number of other delete votes were blanked as well.--Cini 17:44, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• if Mike has been educated to the level of professor, he is a professor, this has nothing to do with the college. he could go into a pub and still be a professor Fallen Angel ^talk 19:44, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

"Professor" is a title in a University or College. One is not educated to the level of professor. One can be educated to a doctorate, but that does not mean all people with doctorates are notable. Kukini 21:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - and nice for him to be introduced so at parties and suchlike. It still doesn't in of itself translate to notability. RGTraynor 20:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep Very informative, accurate artical.

• Delete - per nom and above. Kukini 21:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
