[edit] Billbrock

Delete.This article is written by one user, Sam Sloan, about another user, Billbrock (real name: Bill Brock). (Disclosure: I am on friendly terms with Brock, but have not seen him in several years. He has not asked me to submit this article for deletion.) About 90% of the article consists of discussion of the fact that Billbrock has been attacking Sam Sloan in various fora, including Wikipedia. This is non-notable, and of little interest to persons other than Sloan and Brock. Krakatoa 17:29, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Brock is non-notable (greatest claim is president of the IL Chess League or something.) Also, there is a newsgroup "rec.games.chess.politics"? That is scary. Sdedeo 18:06, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as per nom. Mindmatrix 18:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable and attack... While we're cleaning things up, I'd delete Sam Sloan as non-notable as well (Self-aggrandizing rhetoric and self-promotion aside, what has he done other than win a court case in front of the Supreme Court?) I'd ban both the silly twats and their flame war.--Isotope23 19:00, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't think twats are silly at all; I would, however, cop to twit-hood (rhymes with...?) Billbrock 02:09, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Wasn't that a lame Paul McCartney song (redundant, I know): "Twats aren't silly, twats aren't silly, twats aren't silly at allllll"? Krakatoa 15:57, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy. This is a blatant attack page with a couple non-attack tidbits thrown in... --Daedalus-Prime 20:18, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Bill Brock has expressed no opposition or objection to this Wikipedia page and to the contrary has asked that some more information be added to his biography, including his Ph.D. in English. On August 19, 2005 at 7:55 PM on rec.games.chess.politics, Bill Brock wrote:

"My own wiki--kewl! Add: married to former Bunny; Ph.D. English; former resident (1976-77), Third West, East Campus (I played for the B team that year and had Ron Henley busted in an early round--the big fish got away)." [Note by Krakatoa: Sam Sloan wrote these last 2 paragraphs]

• Great... let's replace a useless attack page with a vanity page. I reiterate my vote above.--Isotope23 00:11, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Vanity of vanities, all is vanity... Of course this has no place in Wikipedia, but as the subject of the entry (embroiled in a rather nasty ... whatever), I didn't think it was my place to call its validity in question. The entry cited above by Sam Sloan is of course tongue-in-cheek. Billbrock 00:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per nominator and subject. Capitalistroadster 00:58, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: As per his/her comment above, Isotope23 has nominated the Sam Sloan article for deletion, too, so go opine on that one if you want.
