[edit] Andrew Homer
Unverifiable autobiography by User:StarHeart. Rhobite 03:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Because I imagine that the creator of the Homer page may apprehend bad faith in this nomination, in view of his having had editing disputes with the nominator, I should say that I too was nominating this article for deletion; indeed, in adding the template, I experienced an edit conflict with Rhobite. In any case, this user seems altogether non-notable per WP:BIO. Delete. Joe 03:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Royboycrashfan
03:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC) - Delete. Obvious vanity. siafu 05:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. All the redlinks, which are to link to notability, are er... red. T K E 06:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Metamagician3000 09:47, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Ready Aim Fire! 06:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC) - Delete obvious vanity page. — MediaMangler 20:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Hateful and unsourced - also, he does not seem to see that either might be a problem. Lundse 08:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Save. Obviously, none of the above have made any contribution to the world and hate those of use who have.
- If not for me, Neil Michelsen would not have been motivated to write his Tables of Planetary Phenomena.
- One of the main advances in modern Astrology is Astro*Carto*Graphy. I tutored Jim Lewis, the founder of Astro*Carto*Graphy into Astrology, besides introducing Jim to his business partner.
- In the mid '70s, when I was in the Air Force, I was the one who came up with the idea of flight mechanics taking coolers to the mess hall to fill with ice enroute to their job in the hangers so that they would cool down with cold wet handkerchiefs so that they'd stop passing out from heat exhaustion during the hotter part of the year. Now, every flight mechanic around the world takes an ice cooler to work during summer.
- With a little help of the Unitarian Universalist Church of America, I was instrumental in stopping the Soviet Union from initiating an ICBM attack on America during President Ronald Reagan's administration.
- If you ask Louis Freeh, President Clinton's FBI Director, I was the first Astrologer to pinpoint the source of the 9/11/01 attack to an area east of Kabul (using Astro*Carto*Graphy).
- Oh, by the way... what contributions to humanity have you losers made?? StarHeart 05:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Andy123(talk) is a loser and he votes Delete. Vanity article. 18:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. I am also a loser who has not contributed to the World nor to humanity. I've attempted to do some online research into Andrew Homer's notability, but it seems that everything available concerning him on the web is what he has written himself. Oh by the way, I don't have an article about myself on Wikipedia, and if there were, I would expect it also to be deleted for non-notability. — MSchmahl… 22:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- "Andrew Homer" gets 695 ghits. My name, similarly quoted, gets 16,300 last time I checked (yes, I am vain enough to track these things...). Yet I am not notable enough to get an article here, nor should I be. This article is vanity, unverifiable, and not really suitable for Wikipedia. Delete Oh, and StarHeart, please consider using the formatting codes used here to make your replies properly indented. ++Lar: t/c 04:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete unnotable, vanity, hateful, unsourced, etc. Pretty much the gist of most of the contributions from this user it appears. --Chris Brennan 15:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a blog post (a vanity blog post at that) and not a Wikipedia article. Mystylplx 17:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Andrew Homer has seen into my heart, and found that, unlike him, I have contributed nothing to the world. I must vote Delete so that evidence of his exposure of my secret shame be forever erased from Wikipedia. Also, he vandalized my userpage. Herostratus 22:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. The article is a vanity article; the author's not notable, and is editing his own bio. In addition to all this, the United States Marine Corps aviators and mechanics in the Pacific in WW 2 were using ice to keep cold all day (and probably the United States Army Air Corps, though I don't have documentary evidence for it... they weren't stupid and talked to the Marines. Which doesn't matter a bit regarding this article, but does indicate that the author's propensity to self-inflate their importance and innovation. Georgewilliamherbert 22:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- So, I was hallucinating when every flight mechanic and supply staff member, at Altus Air Force Base, came to by Budget Office to shake my hand to thank me? Sad you don't have anything meaningful in your life to recount. Other than hiding behind a keyboard, have any of you little boys made a serious effort to validate my claims? Have you checked the archives of the Unitarian Church? Have you called Louis Freeh? Have you read the article in The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists written by an American general and an American admiral stating that the closest America ever came to receiving a first-strike with nuclear weapons was during Ronald Reagan administration in the early 1980s? Why start actually DOING something, now, in your uneventful life? StarHeart 23:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have made the following contribution to humanity: I formatted your contributions to more closely match how we do things here so that us losers will look less askance at them. Because, being losers, we tend to focus on picayune stuff like that rather than earthshattering stuff like putting ice in coolers. Hope that helps me out in the astrocartographic plane... ++Lar: t/c 00:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

- Delete. Ludicrously obvious vanity page. The ice anecdote is particularly bogus. --Calton | Talk 23:59, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- The ice thing did it for you? Just speaking personally, I was a little skeptical about whether Mr. Homer averted nuclear war with the USSR. I suppose that's just the loser in me talking; as someone who has never accomplished anything in my life, I have trouble recognizing the valuable contributions of other people, for instance those who have saved humanity from mutually assured destruction. Rhobite 00:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- You mean, it wasn't prompting someone else to write yet another baseless treatise on astrology that did it? siafu 00:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- What is truly amazing is that even while saving the world and making so many other contributions to humanity, Mr. Homer still manages to be the man to see if you want to buy real estate in the Albuquerque area. Nothing wrong with being a real estate agent, but I don't think I've ever seen a more severe case of Walter Mitty syndrome. — 209.183.206.14 13:30, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
