[edit] Daniel L. Lurker

Fails the Wikipedia:Google test. Waxtal 02:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Item: as it stands, this article appears highly defamatory and possibly constitutes allegations of criminal behaviour. In such circumstances I feel that most encyclopaedias would decline to publish in this form. --Simon Cursitor 14:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment - Defamatory, what are you talking about? He's trying to seek justice and doing it in a perfectly legal manner. This country's unrelenting tyranny against people who smoke is outrageous and disgusting. George Mason University, located just outside the basin of hell, is notorious for disregarding the facts and doing things their way. Actually, our government likes to take the same approach.

• Delete - This appears to be someone's personal advertisement. Should be removed from George Mason University as well. Wikipedia:Vanity page Hiberniantears
• Delete: Personal tribute page to someone who's just a college activist. Not encyclopedic. Geogre 01:52, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• I'm a little confused. He's in college for at least a year but under 18? Delete pending some stunning verifiblity. humblefool® 03:18, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Possible. It doesn't happen often, but some people either graduate high school early or leave high school altogether and start college around age 16. I'd agree that it's unlikely. Xcali 00:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - the information here is valid and he isn't advertising. This person is notable given that the first sentence distinguishes him from millions of other college graduates. Where do you people get off on this vanity racket? I've got news for you, most people don't care about getting their name in Wikipedia. Wow, imgaine that- someone who doesn't devote every waking second of his life to this pursuit. I know it's hard for most of you wikipedians to fathom that. I was reading the article that lists wikipedians who have articles about them. Why not call all of them vain too? Currently only one of those is up for deletion and that's due to controversy.

  • Most people may not care, but a whole lot of people who find their way to the Wikipedia seem to care. Why else are so many articles created that consist of little more than some variation on "He's a cool d00d!"? Xcali 00:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Xcali 00:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. This (poorly-organized) article memorializes a minor incident in college politics in the guise of documenting the brief career of a completely unremarkable student activist. Seriously: Friendly's coupons? --Tysto 19:49, 2005 May 29 (UTC)
• Delete, probably a hoax, at best non-notable. RickK 04:05, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete no notability, article is a mess, really. --Kiand 23:27, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a forum for recording the minutae of student politics. Gamaliel 23:35, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, delete the content and make it a stub. Falphin 01:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Accurate (I know this individual) but non-notable.

• Delete. This guy might do something notable in the future that would get him worthy of inclusion, but as of now, he's just a smart guy who's just graduated college at an early age, not an encyclopedia subject. *Dan* 04:01, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Graduating from college at 19, while somewhat rare, is not notable. I graduated one month after turning 20, and look at me now! --Golbez 04:12, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Simply graduating at age 19 doesn't make him notable. — J3ff 17:07, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless substub. Why was this not speedied? 24.54.208.177 02:54, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
