[edit] Christopher Knight (publisher)

vanity article; not significant person

  • Delete it's not even his ORIGINAL NAME! His REAL NAME is Chris Sevcik! - byteme 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.122.248.222 (talk)
  • Delete per nomination. - Carax 03:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Being the Christopher M. Knight that is the person in question, I disagree with the delete entry nomination. How can a user "Carax" nominate me for deletion if Carax is not a valid Wikipedia User? Carax posted only 35 minutes before DakotaKahn... Doesn't that look a little coincidental?

  • Keep: The case for why this entry should not be deleted: I've been on the net for more than a decade and my thousands of articles and permission-based email newsletters impact more than 1 million unique humans on a monthly basis. While it appears I am not significant to DakotaKahn, I am significant to the 82,000 people who visited just one of my websites today. Please do not delete this entry. Thank you, Christopher M. Knight of Wisconsin. 06:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: User:Carax is a registered Wikipedia user; the fact that his name is in red just means that he hasn't created a user page (there's no requirement to do so). If he were a non-registered user, he would only be identifiable by IP address. Also, I see nothing unusual about somebody responding to an AfD nomination within 37 minutes; at any time of day, various Wikipedians are reading the Articles for Deletion page. --Metropolitan90 16:03, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 13:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep. Mr. Knight, nobody is suggesting deleting *you*--only an article about you. Was it you who originally wrote it? I don't think it is proper for you to either write an article about yourself here or vote against it's deletion. There's a reason for calling such actions "vanity." Having said that, the subject of the article is somewhat notable. I think the article should stay and be expanded, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it were deleted.
  • Delete although I don't really think the article looks like vanity Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:58, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Chris is a successful entrepreneur who has played a key role in the development of internet marketing and publishing. Thousands of people submit to an use the content he manages at http://www.ezinearticles.com. In a way, his service is like WikiPedia. Seems pretty significant to me.

  • keep, based on ezinearticles.com alexa rank of 798 (nice'n'high, and rising), [1]. Otherwise, would try delete based on content that reads like a myspace profile (samy, you are my hero). Nonetheless, seems infulential enough, for now. ∴ here…♠ 09:01, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - what do we have to lose by keeping it? The more information, the better. TDS (talk • contribs) 20:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
