[edit] Chris Moxon
Although I am a strict inclusionist, I am not in favor of vanity pages. This article was started by the person/user and only two pages link to it, the user's own page, and the article for a local club of which the user was a member. A Google search proves non-notability. It does not meet Wikipedia guidelines for notability and is a self-authored article. I don't know what else to say. Apparently this article has been removed serveral times in the past and the author has replaced it. See discussion here: User talk:Cmoxon. Thanks. Saudade7 13:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you look at the edit history of this particular incarnation of the article, you will see that the author (apparently not Moxon himself) had doubts about whether he should have created the article in the first place. In fact, in nine months, the article grew into nothing more than a stub with no assertion of notability beyond the position Moxon currently holds. Delete until someone comes up with a more substantial coverage. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 13:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- No evidence of independent reliable sources as required by WP:BIO, and it's not clear that Moxon's position is notable in any case (I see British Computer Society Young Professionals Group is itself of disputed notability). delete Algebraist 17:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The position is not notable, and he has no other indicates of notability at this point in his career. I too have some doubts about the notability of the group, though the award they give might just be usable as an evidence of notability. But he doesnt have the award, he's just an officer of he club.
