[edit] Evan Sackett

Evan Sackett (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

AfD nominated by 152.3.76.161 with reason: "Evan Sackett often adds that he is a fan of this film (Poor Little Rich Girl) and makes short films himself, which is irrelevant and spamming. I have deleted these statements (though he reinstates them), and have recommended his own personal Wikipedia page (which he created himself and edits) for deletion." This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo 21:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete despite unorthodox nomination. He is not notable by any stretch of policy, his books are self-published, and the text of the article is self-aggrandizing and unsourced.--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 00:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Also note the page was created by the subject, and his user page redirects to this article.--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 01:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless proper references and cites are included by end of this AfD, a little de-spamming would not hurt either Alf photoman 15:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Stifle (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment This afd has been blanked twice by an anon IP who seems to be engaging in complex vandalism of Sackett-related pages, and claims to be Sackett on a related talk page. I left a notice on WP:ANI.--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 05:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Please note that User:C. Evan Sackett is just one of a number of users (3 at my count) claiming to be Evan Sackett, and all three users have been creating AND vandalising articles about or related to him. --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 05:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Naconkantari 06:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete article, while full of puffery, makes no claim of notabilty. Pete.Hurd 07:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • D): All of the above.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. Pure self-promotion. Ganfon 00:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

KeepI am David, the author of this page. Evan Sackett IS NOT the author of this page. Yes, my screename is User:Evan Sackett. This is because I was trying to make the page and I incorrectly labeled it. If feel Mr. Sackett deserves this page. He is currently being published and I worked hard on this page. I shouldn't have added the material I did to Andy Warhol's page, even though it was true. There is a strange occurance happening with me. There is another user claiming to be Evan Sackett and all this. It's a mess we're getting straightened out. But give me time to work on this article. I'll fix it, please don't delete it. Review article I have severely edited my article. I have removed all of what you call "spam". I hope it suits you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.251.89 (talk • contribs) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Visual Circle (talk • contribs)

  • Delete Per all above. Note also that the abusive IP that Dmz5 referred to and reported was used by "David," the "author" of the Evan Sackett page and of the nomination above. The above comment was then added to by the user Visual Circle (check the logs). Something fishy is going on. Rockstar915 02:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • New Info: Please Observe My user account is C. Evan Sackett. I am Evan sAckett, NOT DAVID. His account is under Evan Sackett (I don't know why he did that) but my account is C. Evan sAckett. I don't know David personally, but he wrote me an e-mail. I am a member of Wikopeida, and he didn't know. I sent him some references which he added to my boigraphy page. I hope this will help. If not, I will stay out of this matter. I am not interested in self-promotion. 02:14 15 January 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by C. Evan Sackett (talk • contribs)
  • Comment The page was created by C. Evan Sackett. CiaranG 20:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Apart from Evan Sackett's Visual Circle's own website, the two other references are a) the Knoxville News-Sentinal and b) Authorhouse Publishing. The Knoxville News-Sentinal yields no results to a search of Evan Sackett, and Authorhouse Publishing is a self-publshing website. No suitable other references are given. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rockstar915 (talk • contribs) 03:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Speedy delete - this is (some witty Elaragirl (talk · contribs) descriptor) ... nonsense, and non-notable as well as containing no reliable sources. Tagged with "db-bio". Yuser31415 05:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
