[edit] Frank Poe

Vanity, laughable insignificance. To allow this page would be to set a precedent allowing all humans the right to a page. Adambiswanger1 05:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Userfy to User:Frankpoe. As quoted from the article "Poe recently became well known in New Zealand when he won a $500 raffle run by the Wellington Boy Scouts Brigade. Poe received nationwide media attention, and was interviewed on Campbell Live by well respected journalist and liberal, John Campbell". National media coverage for winning only $500 at a lottery? The article also claims that "according to legend, he purchased an ice-cream from the local store. The ice-cream stick is currently on display in a framed cabinet in the local tavern." Laughable vanity, possibly add to BJAODN.--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 05:10, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Yes Userfy. Actually the NZ contingent should pile on at the slight from "received nationwide media attention." (BTW: I fixed the {{userfy}} tag at User talk:Frankpoe)
• explain to me why this man should not have his own wiki when yours is exactly the same thing. you've just had more time to create yours thats all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.181.7.1 (talk • contribs)
• Frank: You have created a Wikipedia article. You might want to consider creating a User Page, which is not part of the encyclopedia, but is a place where you can write whatever you want about yourself. See User pages —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adambiswanger1 (talk • contribs)
• Delete. Not notable. DarthVader 13:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete possible speedy. A search of an Australia New Zealand media database came up with nil stories indicating that his $500 win in the boy scouts raffle did not in fact attract national interest in New Zealand. There are no other claims on the page indicating or claiming notability nor is it verifiable through third party sources.

• Speedy delete - Vanity page of a non-notable person. JoJan 17:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. This is not vanity, this is nonsense. No painting at Te Papa would sell for $60. No winner of a raffle gets nationwide press coverage (although the raffle organisers may be obliged to place an advertisement announcing the winner).-gadfium 19:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Userfy per most. It's kinda funny, and it should be preserved. Grandmasterka 01:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
