[edit] Deletion

As of today, 7/14/06, I don't think that the subject meets the requirements for notability. Perhaps this would be more appropriate if moved to user:Samnanton. As written above, i wikified on 6/21/06. Kennykane 04:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain why? I don't see this as meeting criteria for speedy deletion. Can to explain why you think so? Guettarda 04:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Im not to familiar with the different tags, speedy was the only one i knew. basically i just felt like when i wikified it needed a lot of help,i went back to look and it hasnt really come very far. also a lot of the edits are by nanton himself. if you know of a more appropriate change please change it. thanks for the help Kennykane 04:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC) (i also posted this on your personal talk page, sorry for that)

I suspect most of the original entry was by Nanton but I suppose vanity posting is par for the course.

[edit] porn emails

i notice the "controversy" section keeps getting edited-out. this incident is accurate. it is the subject of national discussion. it has not yet been reported in the local press, but it is a current topic.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crushtheturtle (talk • contribs).

'Porn emails 2'

It's really ashame that someone of such publicity would allow something like that to get into the public hands and what about the family that's involve it just goes to show that in marriages they can never be too much trust —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.32.51.146 (talk • contribs).

The porn incident really occurred, but i find it mighty strange that the encyclopedia was so speedily updated as per what occurred. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.238.66.118 (talk • contribs).

Since this article is about a living person, we need to maintain a high standard of sourcing, especially for material like this. If the material is to be here at all, it needs to be supported by a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living people and the note at the top of this page.

I quoted a credible source: http://www.tntmirror.com/friday/2006/sep22/story01.htm Crushtheturtle 03:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't you mean "credible" source? The Mirror isn't a credible source - in fact, it cites this article as a source. Guettarda 23:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, a comment undermined slightly by the fact that The Mirror article published the photos (or at least the ones that were remotely fit to print - anyone who has seen the e-mail will know why they never printed the other ones). I agree utmost care must be taken not to libel somebody on Wikipedia, but there cannot be any issue with reporting what photographs have appeared in the newspapers. Legis 17:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

The "News of the World" published pictures of batboy. The Mirror isn't a reliable source. Simple enough. Guettarda 17:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
