[edit] David jason Silver
Prod removed without comment, so we'll go this direction. This is an article for a gentleman who has apparently had a few movie and TV roles, but none of them being substantial - things like "mafia boss" and "hardware store customer," for example. A Google search turns up under 200 hits, and nothing that really resembles a reliable source that I could see to provide notability to the claims made in the article. Perhaps the main point that is presented is participation in a new reality show; however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of press about the reality show at this point, and having this detailed an article for a contestant in an upcoming show is a bit iffy, I would suggest. It should also be noted that this name has appeared in the past, resulting in some blocks. Delete as failing WP:BIO. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Just noticed that an article has been deleted four times at David Jason Silver as well. And five times at David J. Silver. Oy. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as recreation of previously deleted article, unless this or its siblings has never been through AFD before, then let it stand here so we can get one AFD under our belts. However, I see nothing to indicate real notability. Holding a job, even one like "actor", does not make one automatically notable. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete No claim to notability. Being barely over an extra in <10 movies isn't worth much. Created by SPA account that's apparently related to articles subject. Also recreation of deleted material. Should probably be salted. Horrorshowj 06:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, SALT, and bring to an administrator's attention. I believe this gentleman has a long history with Wikipedia, summarized at this location. This article may have been created by a sockpuppet of a blocked user, or a user whose block has expired. I'll do what I can to bring this to an admin's attention who has dealt with him before.

- Comment I've left a note at this location and I'll bring this AfD to the attention of an administrator who knows the history, who I expect will know what is best to do. Accounting4Taste 15:14, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and Salt. Does not meet WP:BIO, and is a recreation of a deleted article without going through a DRV. Since someone keeps relentlessly recreating the article under a variety of names (as noted above by Tony Fox), it may be necessary to salt all the names involved. In answer to the question, whether there had ever been a full-length AfD, there is one at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Jason Silver. (Note that all initials are in upper case, the present one has lower case 'jason'). But since the last AfD was over a year ago, no harm in letting this one run. The creator of the article in the last AfD, Harvardlaw (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), was indefinitely blocked in October 2006. The complete lack of respect for WP policy shown at User talk:Harvardlaw suggests that a ban rather than a mere block might be considered. Checkuser probably wouldn't do any good because of the lapse of time. EdJohnston 16:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - In fact, this is a speedy delete as a receration of previsously deleted material. There's no doubt that this was created by a sock of Harvardlaw, who pops up every month or two to document his own glory and fame. He's already been blocked indefinitely under many names, but that doesn't stop him. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
