[edit] Diamond Joe Esposito

Diamond Joe Esposito (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

NN & spam, author has been spamming other articles with links to this rogerd (talk) 02:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. The spamming behaviour is inappropriate, but I have to say keep for the article on Diamond Joe, despite it's current poor quality. Putting aside the issue of whether his books make him notable or not, I would say he's a notable figure for the role he played in Elvis Presley's life, and there are certainly a bunch of third-party references I can find on the internet. However, I think it would not be inappropriate to consider moving the page, since he is really the namesake of the "real" Diamond Joe. I think this particular page should probably be a DAB page that links to both Diamond Joes.
  • Comment. Incidentally, User:V0taire (the spammer) deleted the AfD template from the article. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Notability is clearly demonstrated by the sources found by Google Books and Google News, including [1] [2] [3] [4]. Editor behaviour should be dealt with by discussion, warnings, blocks etc., not by deleting articles on notable subjects. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
