[edit] Clay Cook

Vanity Page, nothing to indicate any kind of notability Gblaz 02:05, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - you were a fraction of a femtosecond ahead of me! However, I'm weak because I've heard of ineedhits.com, but "Clay Cook" and ineedhits returns only 20 unique Google hits, so notability is marginal. He competed in some non-Googleable sailing contest but does not appear to have won, so this does not help his notability. I might remove my weakness in time. -Splash 02:08, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, don't bite the newbies and remember that non-notability (even vanity) isn't yet a speedy criterion. -Splash 03:10, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Agreed, it was over the top but a lot of editorial time is spent voting for deletions on articles that are written by the subject of the article. In general I believe if you have to write your own article you are not notable. Perhaps it is time to consider self written articles as a reason for Speedy Deletion.--Porturology 04:20, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with you on that. You might find the proposal from Uncle G to be of interest. -Splash 14:01, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Clay, this isn't Who's Who in Australian Business. Spend some time writing articles about other things...and get a professional to write your biography. ℬastique▼^talk 05:14, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. Don't userfy, as the author already has text on his user page, may not want all of this, and is free and able to move as much as he wants to his user page. -- Hoary 06:20, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
