[edit] Ananda Selah Osel

Ananda Selah Osel (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Notability neither demonstrated nor asserted. Lots of sources given, but almost all of them fail WP:RS, being mostly blogs and forums. We have an extremely minor poet here who throws up practically nothing in terms of Ghits: [1]. This writer hasn't even published a book, thus failing WP:BK. The lack of notability may point to WP:COI or even WP:AUTO. In fact, there are a lot of associated edits on a variety of articles, strongly indicating WP:SPAM. I'm still in the process of tracking all of these down and deleting them. Qworty (talk) 02:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the sources are lacking, and yes he’s not published a book but I have heard of about his writing. He seems to be a rather large figure in the small press and the article seems pretty critical suggesting some sort of neutrality.66.212.78.220 (talk) 20:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)John —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.78.220 (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable: soundly fails both basic and additional criteria at WP:BIO. If and when he gains demonstrable notability, the article can be recreated. Hqb (talk) 17:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
• Note This article should be moved to the stub sections or be considered a developing article. Yes, the article fails the WP:BIO test but I specifically searched this guys name in Google and was pleased when I found an article about him. I also believe that the above comment is incorrect about the author not publishing a book. He is a independent press author and the book probably just had limited distribution. At best this article should be moved or merged in some way192.211.25.9 (talk)James —Preceding comment was added at 00:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
• Suspicious ISP activity. Thus far, both of the comments arguing in favor of this article have come from anonymous dial-ups. One of them comes from Evergreen State College (State of Washington)[2], where the subject of the article is admittedly a student. The other comment comes from the Seattle Public Library system [3]. I suppose these could actually be two separate people, and people other than the subject himself, though this could also be one person moving from anonymous terminal to anonymous terminal.
