It does meet CSD G5, but rather than speedy delete because of the sheer content of this page, I am placing it here for discussion. I, however, abstain from voting. Ian¹³/t 16:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The BBC refers to him as "one of Scotland's most controversial religious figures" (per the link in the article). - Richfife 16:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Established notability. If page was created while user was banned, it doesn't seem malicious. The article could use a cleanup, but couldn't we all? Mystache 17:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The content is probably out of proportion, but this is true of many such bios. DGG 03:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Everything is cited and the article seems fine. The person in question is of obvious note and the author is irrelevant. CDMS 09:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Note On further examination I can't understand why the author, user:Dog cicero was blocked initially. CDMS 10:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I think this may have been the reason. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It was mostly because of Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Cicero_Dog which proved the account was a sockpuppet master, and also general disruption (see block log) (e.g. Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Cicero_Dog and falsifying votes). You are welcome to contest the ban however. Ian¹³/t 14:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

That was Cicero Dog (talk · contribs) not Dog cicero (talk · contribs). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.131.67 (talk • contribs) 16 April, 2007

The edits made and name do indicate a link. Especially due to the volume of sockpuppets Cicero Dog has made. You could request a checkuser or request for discussion at the admin noticeboard or similar, but this board is for discussion of the article and not the user. Ian¹³/t 07:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Notability is established. However, not all the factual statements in the article are sourced, and if no sources can be found, they'll need to be removed under our WP:RS policies. EdJohnston 15:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup (e.g. "while he was still protesting against ecumenism and the sins of an increasingly ungodly generation...") EliminatorJR ^Talk 19:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per the comments above, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. RFerreira 03:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above --Guinnog 00:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup; it meets the notability tests of WP:BIO, and the unsourced statements are not grounds for deletion, because the core of the article is verifiable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per all above. Johnbod 10:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
