The result was delete. The only claim to notability is being a "Bryce Select award" winner, but that award's importance or even existence is unverifiable due to a lack of sources. Sandstein 16:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete per WP:BIO and WP:NN. Unencyclopedic and non notable conspiracy theorist. Strothra 16:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedy keep. Insufficient and illogical reasons given for deletion. The subject is an accomplished, award-winning digital artist as well as web designer for one the most visited and visible websites on the internet. Wikipedia has plenty of entries of digital artists whose works hasn't been seen by one tenth as many people as Neff, you'd better start by asking for all those entries to be deleted first. Your last argument doesn't make any sense, since Neff is a web designer and graphic artist, not a conspiracy theorist. TimothyHavelock 21:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • delete unfortunately none of the information just provided is in the article, nor is there adequate sourcing. If the article can be imporved to demonstrate his accomplishments, then it would be a keep. I also note the separate WP article [Rense.com.].. DGG 07:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • keep. I'm certainly open to suggestions on exactly which points need to be sourced. The website's visilibity can certainly be sourced easily via Alexa.TimothyHavelock 16:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete - no assertion of notability. Tom Harrison Talk 21:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Award winning artist and notable webmaster of a major website. I predict the following people will appear here Morton Devonshire, Tbeatty, Bov, rogerd, GabrielF, Aude. Where does the conspiracy theorist angle come from? --NuclearZer0 21:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Webmaster and guy who made a landscape that a forum liked. Borderline speedy Hipocrite - «Talk» 21:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: Tim said it best; award-winning, notable, etc. .V. [Talk|Email] 16:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing newsworthy (0 results on Lexis-Nexis search of articles) or particularly notable. He is mentioned as "award-winning" with the link referring to the "Bryce Select Award". I don't think "Bryce Select Award" qualified for "multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work." I tried to find out about that, but just two google results for that. [1] Doesn't seem like a notable (or verifiable) award. Not notable enough to make him qualify under WP:BIO. --Aude (talk) 17:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Aude. Webmasters are not notable unless there are sources about them. Bryce is 3D modeling software. A quick google search showed nothing for a "Bryce Select Award" that would indicate its an award of any significance. GabrielF 18:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per GabrielF and Aude. Non-notable.  MortonDevonshire  Yo  · 19:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep as per above. Travb (talk) 03:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, article does not assert notability. I can't figure out what the Bryce select award is, but it links to a dead site place holder. --Dual Freq 04:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Neff is a politically opinionated graphic artist and his artwork is known for being controversial. Rense.com is one's the biggest conspiracy/alternative news sites on the web, and I would argue that plenty of people visit the site just to see the latest political montages and controversial artwork.

Although it's not a vote, most people make one of their remarks keep, or delete or something else, and mark other remarks as comment. Tom Harrison Talk 00:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
