[edit] Alexander Marquardt

• Looks like some vanity page for a mba student, Delete--User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 02:40, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• I think that this is nothing more than power-tripping by a user Boothy443 with nothing better to do than discuss the content of someones page. Would the page for "Jennifer Lopez" not also be considered a vanity page. But because you happen to feel the opinions of Hollywood adds validity to documenting the accomplishments and life of this woman that she deserves a page over a published author in an MBA program?

  • "Vanity page" means an article posted by its subject, which is discouraged. If you are reasonably significant, someone will create an article about you sooner or later. —tregoweth 03:14, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Vanity, though the law student in me is more bothered by his false claims of having registered his name as a trademark. Postdlf 05:10, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, taking a pic without a shirt on is definately vanity :) --The Jacobin 05:41, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

• I think it fine, if Sheryl Crow has a page than why not this guy? Maybe he has done more important things than her don't delete unsigned comment left at the top of the page by user:Piceaspruce whose only contributions so far are to this discussion.
  • Well, yes... maybe he does have four multi-platinum albums in a row, numerous top-20 singles, and several Grammy awards... but unfortunately neither this article nor any other information available in this reality establishes that. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:44, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Probable vanity, and has been attracting vandalism. No encyclopedic notability established. Also, attempts to deflect the discussion to some other article always get negative style points from me, particularly when the other articles are examples as silly as the ones used here. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:56, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• He is a notable scholar and contributor to the development of several commonly use microprocessors. The basis for this high speed design was the nonlinear Levenberg-Marquardt regression. which resulted in new strides forward in quatum computing. You may delete him now, but he'll be back later. However the vandalism has surely been meant to put doubt on his character. ROLL back the changes -- This is 198.163.10.210's only edit.
• Sweet jumping mother of delete. A fully wikified vanity article within styling conventions is a first in my experience here. Alex, if you're for real, get a user page. Put this info on it. Contribute something useful on computer-related subjects. And unravel the sockpuppets. They aren't exactly helping your cause. - Lucky 6.9 23:29, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Ohmygod, this is, like, the perfect vanity page. Delete.
