[edit] Russell Goldencloud Weiner

Non-encyclopedic huckster whose creation (Rockstar) is also up for deletion. Oh, and he has a famous (?) daddy. BrainyBroad 02:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Note—The primary definition of "huckster" at dictionary.com [1] is "a peddler or hawker." I suspect this article exists only in relation to the Rockstar advertisement, leading to my use of the word. No other meaning was intended. However, since we're throwing around wiki rules, how about WP:AGF?? BrainyBroad 03:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Nothing notable about subject. (However, nothing in the article to suggest that creator is a huckster.) ERcheck 02:45, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete... no reason to attack the guy in your nom (see WP:CIVIL). Creator of an energy drink, and not an especially popular one at that. Having a famous parent does not confer notability in my opinion either. I'd say delete, or possibly merge into the energy drink article. Drink article is up for AfD too, but I have no opinion on that. A stronger case could be made for the notability of the creation than for the creator though.--Isotope23 02:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge any notable information (there isn't any, really) with Rockstar (drink). Once again, Rockstar is a valid drink. --WikiFanatic^{Talk Special:Contributions/WikiFanatic 00:09, 1 Nov 2005 (CDT)}
• Delete, there isn't really much to merge with Rockstar (drink) except his name as creator. -- Foofy 13:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Rockstar (drink) which I agree is notable. Factoid that Weiner is the son of Michael Savage (commentator), is too interesting to be lost to posterity (actually, I see its already noted on Savage's page)--FRS 20:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect after merging to Rockstar (drink) as per FRS, no need to disparage the subject during nomination. Hall Monitor 23:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, period. --Calton | Talk 01:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Any notable info is already in the article for the drink, which has survived AfD. No real need for redirect. Youngamerican 16:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per FRS. I don't even drink energy drinks and I've heard of Rockstar. - Pasiphae 07:59, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
