[edit] Arnold van Bezooyen

Although comparatively well written, it's still a vanity article that does not establish notability -- Ferkelparade π 10:21, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Not fully agreed with your 'vanity remark'. Why? In the design profession it is common to use personal names when referring to their work. This is not for 'getting your credits', but to reflect that designed products or services are often signed by a designer(team) thinking/characteristics. Design work should reflect the unique personality of a designer (imho), and should therefore be associated with him/her. Should you have doubts on my current/future contributions in the field of materials & design, then I understand your 'vote for deletion' and will respect the public voice. I hope you understand that I am contributing to Wikipedia not for 'shameless self promotion', but do this because I value the initiative and its (believe it or not :) design importance. PS : how do you manage to get your name/timestamp to your remark? Is this a signature? Arnold van Bezooyen, 27 Jan 2005 -- Arnoldo
  • "Vanity" is one of the VFD jargon terms, which you should familiarise yourself with if you want to understand what is written here, that refers to a Wikipedia:vanity page, the criteria for which your article fulfils. If you want an encyclopaedia entry, you'll have to demonstrate in the article what is notable about you that distinguishes you from all of the other millions of industrial designers in the world who were born, went to school, and worked in design jobs, and who also want their own encyclopaedia articles. As for signatures, please read Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Commenting_on_a_listing_for_deletion. Uncle G 16:16, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)
  • More than that, autobiographical articles, even if written by a notable subject, are generally frowned upon here. Wikipedia:Autobiography covers this well. Cdc 16:54, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• No notability established. Userfy Uncle G 16:16, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like advertisement, a CV on the WP. Vanity indeed. Gtabary 16:44, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Understood, and thank you for your feedback Uncle G. I guess my information is more suitable in my user page (until the day I have become notable of course ;). Nothing left but saying hello to you guys, and see you later. Arnoldo 20:47, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Since the content has been moved to Arnoldo's user page, I believe this qualifies as a speedy delete (redirect case 2 - leftover after moving a user page out of the article space). This article is not strictly a redirect but only because the article was moved by cut-and-paste instead of by using the "move" button. Unless there is objection, I will clean this leftover in 24 hours. Rossami (talk) 22:06, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
