[edit] Alex Makin

  • This page should be deleted. It is created and edited by the person that it is about. The only reference to him on the internet is his own web page that he created.

  • Well...delete. But only for the reason that he appears non-notable by WP standards. His contributing his own article does not neccessarily mean that we have to delete it. Nor does the heavy "editing" done by you, User:202.158.212.34, mean that we should keep it. Posting "Makin is a narcissist" on the page looks an awful lot like an attack. But whatever. Googletest does not bring up much and it sounds like he is involved in a minor municaplity role, without making much of a splash on the big picture. —Gaff ταλκ 04:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but my comments were referenced to the history of the page whereas his opinions are completely subjective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.158.212.34 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 20 October 2005

  • Keep I am a resident of Melbourne's outer East, and I do not believe that this article is vanity. Alex Makin is a publically known activist- just a couple of days ago I was reading an article about him in the Age, the most respected newspaper in Melbourne [1]. He is also mentioned as a key player in official parliamentary hansard [2], showing that he does not necesssarily need to be elected to be notable. This shows that there is far more to Alex Makin's public profile than his personal website (Crazyandrew 08:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC))
