[edit] Daniel Geduld

Daniel Geduld (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is about a person whose notability is in question, and for whom there appears to be very little relevant information. His only claim to fame seems to be as a voice actor on The Skeletor Show, as well as some minor work for Blake's 7, but outside of this, there's very little. The article was nominated for speedy deletion as an attack page, and I originally deleted it under CSD A7, but restored it when an editor pointed out that it did satisfy basic requirements to avoid A7 deletion. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - This article is clearly being maintained as an attack page for SomethingAwful Forums user FlyingSquid. I have cited some of the more egregious examples here. Cumulus Clouds 04:37, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Mr. Geduld's resume includes work done for the Sci-Fi Channel, Hanna-Barbera, and Radar Magazine. He has also been profiled by both the International Herald Tribune and National Public Radio. I believe these accomplishments have assured Mr. Geduld's notability. It is rather unfortunate that a few immature Wikipedians have taken to vandalizing the article and adding unverifiable facts, such as that Mr. Geduld is "known affectionately as Geodude by his close friends," but to delete the article outright would be, in my view, throwing the baby out with the bathwater. --Rubber cat 05:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Even with the edits you've made, anonymous ips continue to revert back controversial information into that article. It's always going to be used to attack FlyingSquid, in the same way that Brian Peppers was used to attack that man, despite whatever marginal notability he might have enjoyed as a disfigured sex offender. Furthermore, FlyingSquid's interviews on NPR and his work for Hanna Barbara do not make him any more notable than the army of animators they have in their studio or the thousands of people that NPR has interviewed over the years. In my view, callling Daniel Geduld notable would do substantial harm to the continued employment of that policy on this encyclopedia. Cumulus Clouds 05:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Really not notable enough for a page.Alberon 10:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per rubber cat. I agree, it would be a mistake to throw the baby out with the bathwater. --ForbiddenWord 15:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
