[edit] Al Cabino

I have thus far been unable to find major, independent sources that say this guy is notable. Making a chocolate sneaker is interesting and all, but the vanity of the page and the lack of real assertions of notability are suspect. Plus, one of the two contributors to the page is User:Cabino. If anyone can find major news coverage or something to support this artist, bring it forward. Otherwise, this page should be deleted. Grandmasterka 17:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Al Cabino has launched this campaign. It ahs been covered by major news sources. Why should it be deleted? Maybe people recognize him as a sneaker celebrity, and there are around 19,000 signatures on his petitions. I mean like geez, Guy Goma has his own page, and he didn't do anything.Also, it has nothing to do with slow newsdays. Guys, this page on Al Cabino is not just about the petition campaign going on now! He has a movie deal and a book deal in the works, so why should we delete the page on the basis that there are slow newsdays? Harrydude 17:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete A few human interest stories about an obsessed "sneaker fan" don't make for notability. Fan1967 17:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Fan1967. Some slow newsdays the papers look for anything to fill space. Should WP follow suit as an encyclopedia? Crum375 18:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Fan1967. Wikipedia isn't for cataloging everyone with an odd obsession that is mildly amusing enough to attract a desperate editor on a slow news day. - Motor (talk) 19:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
