[edit] Anthony Edward Caruso

Anthony Edward Caruso (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A businessman of marginal notability per WP:BIO, and an admitted WP:VANITY article ([1]). The editor in question has repeatedly created the content and had it speedily deleted, but those speedy deletions were invalid (a founder of a multi-million dollar business = a clear claim of notability). Despite this, in the spirit of Wikipedia:Don't bite the newbies, I hope this debate will focus on the article topic and not the user's behavior other than the WP:VANITY issue. This is somewhat of a procedural nomination for me, I myself am neutral. Mangojuicetalk 14:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Neutral as long as the article can be cleaned up. I can get the citations to look right, but the article contains original research assertions that are not supported by the current citations. Furthermore, the idea that Anthony Edward Caruso is a friend of Jennifer Aniston is also original research. It may be true, but unless a verifiable source can be added that shows this, his continued attempts to add a statement to this effect to the Jennifer Aniston article will be resisted. I should note that the article creator, while at times becoming quite upset, has never become abusive and gives every appearance of being genuinely confused about the many issues involved, such as WP:NPOV, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Autobiography and why it is generally frowned on to keep recreating the same deleted article.

    • Comment I've gone through the entire article, sentence by sentence, adding footnotes to those sentences supported by the given sources, and citation needed tags to those sentences not supported by the given sources. Unless more sources are given to support the currently unsupported statements, those sentences should eventually be deleted. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 18:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article now provides sources putting this person clearly within the bounds of WP:BIO notability. Vassyana 09:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Although his business seems extremely small, there are multiple non-trivial works published specifically about him, so the article seems to satisfy WP:BIO. EdJohnston 05:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
