[edit] Calum Marsh

Vanity, non-notable. Fails the pokemon test. Delete. --Spinboy 03:58, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment"Calum Marsh" gets about 82 Google hits, but only from 9 pages, the rest being omitted results from similar pages. He appears to be a real guy, who's made real films. Anyone in Canada able to shed light on this?-LtNOWIS 05:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, notability not established. Megan1967 05:12, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I attend Carleton University, and Calum Marsh is a considerably well-known director here. His film just premiered at our film festival a few weeks ago. I think he's also a writer or something too for the newspaper.
  • Do Not Delete, established enough to justify notation. He is notably well-known in Ontario.

  • Delete.Not notable. Would like to get input from a Canadian, though. -Casito⇝User talk:CasitoTalk 05:43, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: I am Canadian, and I've never heard of him. --Spinboy 05:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am a Canadian, and I'm familiar with the director and his films. --JohnMarkham 01:59, 21 Apr 2005 (EST)
    • I also live in Ottawa, and I don't attend Carleton University. The people who created or worked on thie article seem to be CU students, if not Calum himself. --Spinboy 06:00, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Karl Dietz I'm in Ottawa, I've heard of Marsh. I think he's doing some filming in our part of town next (the "Nepean")Do not delete
    • That was from User:Karl dietz. --Spinboy 06:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Karl, did you already vote as the numbered user up there? --Spinboy 06:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete: I attend Ottawa University and have heard of both this director and his most recent film. --Flabergasted 06:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I attend Carleton, and have never heard of him. Don't know if that's reason enough to delete him. -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:09, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I notice how many new users are suddenly voting on this. I cannot help but wonder how many of them are the same person. --Spinboy 06:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers You may enjoy this Spinboy.
    • That's from User:Ottawa99. And I've read it. I'm still allowed my opinion that the same person is voting here under different names. --Spinboy 06:19, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I assumed that you had read it; but there is no need to be so suspicious in such a simple process of voting. It would be perfectly reasonable to assume that you have several other accounts which you are using to vote against this, but no respectful person would make such an aligation.

  • Uh, I'm pretty sure that I exist. Maybe I should check again? Johnmarkham 06:24, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Xezbeth 06:50, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Guess what? This was all a less-than-elaborate joke. Hope you had fun wasting your time discussing it you friggin' nerds. So go ahead and delete it and ban this account and all of the others because it's all a sham. Calum Marsh is the figment of your imagination and does not exist. The Charlatan is a fake paper and he never wrote for it. Those articles on the site? Oh those are all fake. And the five films the non-existent Calum made? Yeah those are made up. Those screenshots are photoshopped stills from The Passion Of The Christ.

Goodnight ya morons! Johnmarkham 06:55, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

    • Weather he exists or not isn't being debated. He hasn't done anything worth being included in an encyclopedia. And please no personal attacks. --Spinboy 07:01, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • I happen to know the Charlatan exists ;-) -- Earl Andrew - talk 07:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • He managed to get nerds to discuss it all night, I'd say that's noteworthy Johnmarkham 07:02, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • We're not nerds, and that's not notable. Please stop attacking us. --Spinboy 07:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless notability established. Showing a film at a student festival just doesn't clear the bar for me. He's only nineteen—he's still got lots of time to make his mark. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. hoax and sockpuppetcruft. RickK 19:48, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing from a Google search comes back as anything noteworthy. Saopaulo1 21:46, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Marsh may not have done anything "notworthy" by your standards, but have you? If we google you, would anything other than "wikipedia posting addict" appear? He had done alot, i'm from south of toronto and i've heard of Marsh. I've actually seen a film, so hows the for notable. If he has his film playing basially at different ends of the province, i think thats something. He's ran them at film fextivals, just because they are world renouned ones doesnt mean they arnt something. everyone has to start somewhere and he is notable for doing so. Also, dont you think he deserves something for getting all this talk about him by everyone here? He is far more notable than you,and until you can prove you've done something remotely close to his success, why woulud you care so much if he's deleted?--sades1313 01:23, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Most of us haven't done anything notable, and there isn't an article on us in Wikipedia either. --Spinboy 01:26, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence of notability. Jayjg (talk) 06:33, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete: First of all the article isn't verry notable, second of all the user uses Sock Puppets to defend the article (Notice how a majority of them use "Do not delete" instead of "Keep" when voting) third of all the user resorts to making lame personal attacks (claiming we are "Nerds" and "Not Notable") also in one he claims that he made the whole thing up (which I doubt is true but still...)Deathawk 22:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. The fact the anons aren't even using correct VfD terminology says it all. Hedley 22:23, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) Speedy delete as hoax. Hedley 22:24, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
