[edit] Bo Gorman
Non-notable reality show contestant. Original author persists in removing warning tags after being told not to do so, and refuses to address the issues warned. Unverifiable personal information. Last edits done under anon IP address, likely sockpuppet. Only verification is an IMDB page. No other relevant Google hits. May be self-promotion/COI. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I'm going to have to go with keep on this one. He's had enough roles to show sort sort of notability, but by the barest of margins. Article does read like a promo piece and needs to be re-written from a NPOV Wildthing61476 15:59, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Being a body double is not a role, even if it is for Matt Damon. And "Dorm mate" on a soap opera sounds like a really small part. --Evb-wiki 15:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. A handful of very minor roles. "Baring a striking resemblance to Matt Damon..." - does this mean he did nude scenes only? Clarityfiend 22:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:N and WP:BIO. --Sc straker 00:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I apologize for deleting previous warning tags. This is my first creation and I thought I was doing something wrong; not an intentional attempt at removing warnings. Verification is from an interview with the subject on October 22, 2007. Hope that explains and hopefully deletion will not be neccesary.--Jpfterps 16:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- If you conducted an interview with the subject for the purposes of this article, that is a violation against Wikipedia policies regarding original research. Articles here are supposed to be based on information from reliable, independent sources. Personal interviews between author and subject violate this principle, as their verification is nearly impossible. Frankly, it wouldn't matter here as Gorman simply isn't notable by Wikipedia standards. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete. I was really on the fence about this, but finally determined that he just doesn't have enough credits. Every big star, like Matt Damon, has a photo-double. So should they all be included on Wikipedia? Once he has a role of notability, I'll be happy to support his article.TGreenburgPR 21:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as there are no reliable sources demonstrating notability. An imdb.com entry is not sufficient to make someone notable -- I'm in there too. -- But|seriously|folks 08:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
