Fails WP:BIO. A local pseudo celebrity. Does not belong on Wikipedia. ↔NMajdan•talk 20:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, coverage in Houston Chronicle and Tulsa World indicates he passes WP:BIO and is not merely local despite your assertion. What other reasoning do you have that he does not belong on Wikipedia? --Dhartung | Talk 22:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, he has had a couple articles in various newspapers (and Tulsa would be local, but I see your point). But I believe he fails several of the other alternative tests (and I know they aren't rock solid). I feel he fails the expandability test and the 100 year test. As Bob said, he is very obscure and most Google links are people making fun of him so I consider a Google search hard to rely on. It also appears many edits to this article have come from one IP.↔NMajdan•talk 22:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - seems to be rather an obscure figure, although I'll leave it up to others to decide whether he is notable enough. The article was speedily deleted as failing WP:BIO, due to being an autobiography[1] in September 2006[2], and re-added in October 2006, so could be classified as a re-post. No pages appear to link to his article, suggesting he isn't particularly well-known. Bob talk 22:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Horribly written, seems to be campaigning for keep in the article itself, fails WP:BIO, just plain hooey. Realkyhick 06:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

    • Well, judging by the IP of that comment, I think its pretty safe to say the article violates WP:COI and WP:AB.↔NMajdan•talk 15:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, it appears this person easily passes WP:N. And for that matter, I've just now added yet another two more references to the article. Mathmo Talk 15:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Rewrite - multiple independent coverage. But the article needs a rewrite. -- Whpq 17:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
