[edit] Frank Moore (candidate)

Frank Moore (candidate) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I PRODded this article with the rationale, "A fringe candidate for president, with no significant assertion of notability." Administrator User:DGG declined the prod, writing, "Probably controversial, so try afd" - so here we are. :) Shalom Hello 16:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Not notable as presidential candidate, but seems like a prominent performance artist per cited sources and description. If kept, article title should be changed accordingly. NawlinWiki 17:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, but move to Frank Moore (artist). Lots of Google hits for eroplay, though we do need more reliable sources, since only one in this article is not from the subject himself. Corvus cornix 20:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep that too was my logic--not the politics. We can expect that a good many people with some degree of notability elsewhere are going to run for office, most with no particular likelihood of success, but will still be notable otherwise. Not an AfD matter, but we should be on the lookout for people with the designation (candidate) or (politician) in the article titles--it may not always be justified. His full name is Frank James Moore, a better title.DGG (talk) 20:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep nn political figure but notable performance artist. Article needs a lot of work though. Bigdaddy1981 00:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the article content, but move to Frank Moore (artist) per Corvus cornix. Notable as an artist, not so much as a candidate. (Further, I don't think a redirect needs to be left at Frank Moore (candidate) afterward.) —C.Fred (talk)
Comment I agree with C.Fred r.e. redirect. Bigdaddy1981 20:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as the article needs a lot of editing for a NPOV. Bearian 01:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks Will move the article to Frank James Moore (artist) and am continuing to work on editing the article. -- Eroplay
  • NOTE. I am adding this comment to the closed AfD to get the attention of participants for the discussion on renaming the article, over at Talk:Frank Moore (artist)#Requested move. EdJohnston 12:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
