• Speedy delete per {{db-bio}}. -- Krash (Talk) 18:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy A7 per nom.--み使い Mitsukai 19:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO. It makes subtle claims...not a speedy. PJM 19:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per Krash. PJM: If I make an article about myself and say I'm the coolest person in the universe, does that mean it can't be speedied because I made a claim to notability? --Rory096 07:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

If that is exactly all you state in your article, it could be speedied per A1. This article, as dumb as it is, makes tangible claims, unlike "I am the coolest person in the universe". Also, there is no mention of "self-written" articles in wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion. Nonetheless, they should no doubt be deleted. PJM 14:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

So apparently, Rory should say instead that they have twice won the Inter-galactic Coolest Person Ever award and is currently dating both Brad Pitt and Susan Sarandon. :) Turnstep 14:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Winning the IGCPE Award twice? It's impossible to be that cool, sorry. PJM 14:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• should not be deleted. Seems changes have been made, seems sensible enough now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.209.6.40 (talk • contribs).
• Speedy delete per above. The claims, whether subtle or not, whether true or not, do not rise to a level of notability. Turnstep 14:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. From the article: He is currently regarded as one of the best young rowing coaches in the UK. In is rowing career "Nige" had a number of successes, captaining IC, winning the Temple event at Henley attaining a top 10 finish at Tideway and representing his country at under 23 level. I really don't see why these appear to some as "insignificant" claims. Sure they may be bullocks, but they are still claims of notability, in my view. A7 should apply to artilces that make no apparent claims of notability whatsoever. Regardless, I'm all for its deletion; my hands are washed. ;) PJM 14:52, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• All claims in this article are true. As for notability dont see how it is not noteable. A young football manager who had played at under 23 level and was being looked at by a host of top clubs would be considered noteable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.209.6.40 (talk • contribs).
