[edit] Nicholas Bouios

One of the very best vanities I have seen. He gives it away, though, by saying that he likes soccer. smoddy 11:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Yes, I'm quite sure that an 18-year-old "revolutionised accounting standards." --FCYTravis 11:26, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Checked out the link in google. He did win a VCE Premiers Award for academic excellence. I'm from Australia, and although I have never heard of him, i did do a search on The Age Newspaper and Herald Sun (Australian papers) and there were a few articles on his accounting skills. I just dont think he's as elaborate as the article claims. But seems partly true.. SuperdooperB

  • User's first contribution to Wikipedia. He also removed all other votes. smoddy 12:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Is it not possible that someone as new as SuperdooperB removed it by accident? Your logical reasoning is flawed. You will not get into Oxford or Cambridge 13:00, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.238.89.168 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 11 Jun 2005.
      • Oh for heck's sake. I have better things to do with my life than debate whether or not an edit was malicious. My comment didn't and doesn't hint at any such thing. Don't put words into my mouth, and stop attacking me. smoddy 13:04, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A search for "Nicholas Bouios" received no Google hits. [1] HIH collapsed in 2001. While there was a Royal Commission, this bloke (14 at the time) had no connection with it. Possibly the only true statement in the article is that he likes soccer, which isn't verifiable nor is it notable. Capitalistroadster 14:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As a student in 2003, he was given a VCE High Achiever award by the Premier of the Victoria government. That's it. The rest of the article appears to be a tissue of lies. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete mostly unverifiable. JamesBurns 04:55, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Google test doesnt always work. Lot of work happens behind the scenes when academics are involved in public policy. Kind of like many top-notch economists working in FedReserve or helping the treasury of the country advising Governemt without anyone knowing about it. There are few articles in the age on him. Thi is one place google test doesnt work. 08:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.238.89.168 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 12 Jun 2005 UTC.
• Delete. Received one notable award. Has apparently done nothing else of note. Socks also make me suspicious. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 17:24, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Definately notable but needs serious clean up. Article makes it look like he was a superstar. That newspaper begs to differ. Did some minor things to helpthough - nothing that saved Australia (my opinion) Planetpjs 01:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - nobody supported by sockpuppets. - Skysmith 08:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, unsourced, non-notable in any case. Quale 19:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
