He isn't really that notable. It seems like this was written either by himself or someone that knows him. Eggy49er 19:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Nominator, please place a proper WP:AFD notice on the page. WP:PROD is not a nomination for deletion via this process. (Also, placing a prod three minutes after an editor edits is counter-productive. Prod is not useful for articles being actively edited. They will simply be disputed, and we end up here anyway.) --Dhartung | Talk 19:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Fails WP:BIO, I think. Mentioned in multiple independent sources is not the same as covered in them. Article claims national significance: coverage is local. Delete -- if not, MAJOR rewriting needed.--SarekOfVulcan 19:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO for *ahem* less-than-stellar achievements. Agree with the assessment that it looks like a friend of the subject created this.--Sethacus 20:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • SPEEDY DELETE! It's a shout-out from a buddy. Not even close to being notable. Good grief! Realkyhick 00:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
    • While I agree it should be deleted (I just haven't put in a !vote because my reasons are the same as those already stated), it's not a speedy, because it doesn't actually meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion. Do you perhaps mean "strong delete"?
  • Delete there is actually a claim to notability hidden there, though obviously not a sufficient one 14th place finish in the nationals for the high school National Forensic League competition for extemporaneous speaking. it apparently got him into Brown, but that isnt notable enough, no offense to Brown people here. But it looks like one of his friends did a remarkable amount of work.DGG (talk)`
  • delete this article is very strange as it seems a lot of stuff on someone completly unknown i personally think he must have been up all night and i hope his mum brought him up a cup of cocoDelighted eyes 03:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per SarekOfVulcan. Too bad, as it is a great article, well sourced, well written, but about a local celebrity. When he wins a Rhodes scholarship, then he'll be nationally notable. Bearian 16:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
