  • Delete per nom. -- JJay 06:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy as {{nn-bio}} / CSD A7 Jamie 06:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy agreed, added tag plus nn-warn to user's page. Creator is User:Wessela, likely the subject of the article. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 07:28, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Article makes claims of notability- undoubtedly false- but there. Removing speedy again. -- JJay 07:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
    • You're right. Jamie 07:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
      • No prob. I almost made the same mistake. -- JJay 08:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I can vouch for the authenticity of this article. If you would like, photographic and public records of this man can be put forth, along with Variable X's album and a collection of Mr. Wessel's locally acclaimed films. I would vote against deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JWaltonV (talk • contribs) 09:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

We don't know you, so we really can't do anything with you vouching for this information. We need reliable sources. See WP:V. - Mgm|(talk) 11:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy to User:Wessela if appropriate, delete otherwise. Capitalistroadster 09:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I recommend against userfication. This article is all Wessela editedm which indicates the intention to only use Wikipedia for self-promotion. I don't think allowing stuff like this to linger in the userspace is a good idea. It remains vanity. - Mgm|(talk) 11:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • SPEEDY Delete where are the claims to notability?? One high school teacher referred to him as "God's gift to academia." He holds the record for fastest pin ever at Franklin Township Middle School. He visited Paris. His novel will be published by Penguin. Everything except the last is ridiculous. And completely unverifiable crystal ball claims should not be counted as a claim to notability. Eusebeus 14:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "In his spare time he enjoys reading, drinking coffee." If this is notable, I'm a star. --jackohare 16:30, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No reliable claims of notability. --Nsevs 17:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh come on. You'd like him if you met him. He's a swell guy. Trust me.
