[edit] James Abrams

James Abrams (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article does not assert subjects notability - no references, only external links to his official site, myspace page and an interview. Does not meet the requirements at WP:Notability. Ozgod 11:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep via spillover notability. Archaic is considerably notable, and the site and community are very much personalized around James and Brett. --XDanielx 11:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• I think you misinterpret the intent of the coatrack article. The argument I give for spillover notability isn't that James Abrams once bumped shoulders with an affiliate of Archaic; it is that James Abrams is central to the creation and continued production of Archaic. I don't think Archaic is supremely notable to the extent that any moderately connected person or other subject would be sufficiently notable, but I think the connection in this case is fairly strong--hence the reasoning for my proposed weak keep. --XDanielx 04:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete, doesn't seem to be all that notable outside Archaic. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 13:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral That wired magazine is one reliable source. Is there anything else to satisfy WP:N ? Corpx 14:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep. Though, currently, it asserts no notability, it could become a good article. J-stan ^Talk 19:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
