  • Neutral --Camptown 23:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to page about tasering incident. --Mr Beale 23:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect. Subject is not notable outside of the incident, so a redirect is best here. BlueAg09 (Talk) 00:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to page about tasering incident. If that goes to, delete. Managing to make a policeperson taze you by not playing by the rules does not make you worthy of an article. Greswik 16:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to tasering article. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 17:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect for now, because it looks like the main article still has a few seconds of fame left. WP:BLP1E concerns. shoy 18:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect The incident may be notable. Meyer himself is not. Revolutionaryluddite 19:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to article about the incident itself. Not notable for anything else. Kingfox 20:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to University of Florida tasering incident. Doesn't look like there's much dispute here. —BurnDownBabylon 23:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree. Revolutionaryluddite 23:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Redirect. I third the above opinions. Crassic(talk) 00:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Redirect David Fuchs (talk) 23:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Since there's a clear consensus, an administrator should change the article into a redirect. Revolutionaryluddite 01:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • REDIRECT: for the same reason I redirected the page initially. He got his fame. Redirect to the other page, then delete that page later too. This is all just ridiculous. Timneu22 01:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect. This undergraduate has just protested and isn't notable at all. Wikipedia shouldn't be a directory of people.--71.105.27.191 02:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect I concur, the man himself is non-notable outside of this incident.Blaze33541 03:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect. The incident has an article, and deserves it. This article can only repeat it, as there's nothing else notable about the man. -- AvatarMN 06:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Please do not delete this article. I come to wikipedia for information what we once thougth of as encyclopedia is no longer valid. Please keep this article we should be able to think bigger in the electronic age then the old world of the paper encyclopedia --3.14thagoras 06:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camptown (talk • contribs)
  • Keep, at least for the time being. The man is obviously an internet phenomenon and has drawn international interest, and as such he deserves an article. Bondkaka 07:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Several YouTube clips are internet phenomena, but they are not notable articles. This guy has done NOTHING except call attention to himself through this incident. There's not reason to give him TWO articles, which he now has. I think both articles should be deleted, but as a compromise this one should certainly be redirected. Timneu22 13:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect, hardly anything of note outside the tasering incident. GregorB 11:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect -- Not even remotely notable outside of the incident. Brian Geppert 12:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep  Chantessy  13:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge, re-direct and delete to University of Florida Taser incident. I don't think there's much here that isn't already in that rather long article. Bondegezou 13:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the incident article ... no reason whatsoever to have an article on the kid. --B 14:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect. This is a textbook example of WP:BLP1E and the subject is not at all notable beyond this single incident. Burntsauce 18:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect. His only notability stems from the University of Florida Taser incident, which already has an article. - Walkiped (T | C) 18:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect for now, his notability is presently related to the incident. If he finds himself in the public eye for something else at some point, then it'll be time to recreate it. Rob T Firefly 18:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect - To the tasering incident. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 18:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
