[edit] James "Jimbo" Boulter

Vanity. In no way notable. -- Necrothesp 10:48, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, vanity. Possibly speediable (depends how seriously one takes its "assertion of notability"). fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 11:11, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - by unnerving coincidence he's a pupil at my old school, but this is clearly vanity --Wordmonkey 12:18, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. *drew 13:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, seems like vanity. — JIP | Talk 13:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, speedy if possible under nn-bio. To quote the article James "Jimbo" Boulter is a little known character in the wider world... an admision of non-notability. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 13:33, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: I'm sympathetic to niche characters and those notable in very narrow fields-- however, I can't quite justify this one to myself. Too small an audience. Wiki-directory-of-all-people-everywhere is a better fit. Wellspring 15:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Save I must Object James is Indeed a very great asset to a multi million pound organisation, He is a future Alumini of Cambridge and is t wrong to remove a persons entry into a niche simply because he hasnt touched your life. How many people must support him before he warrents and entry. More importantly, how many people must suffer without. I also Note you have a page for yourself is that pure vanity. I understand that you cant have an entry for every one but I implore you to at least give this article a chance, The person in question is far to modest as it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob15v (talk • contribs) 2005-11-08 12:44:20 UTC
    • Yet another person fails to understand the difference between user pages and articles? — JIP | Talk 13:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Rob15v could be referring to Joona Palaste (AfD discussion). Uncle G 17:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
        • No he could not, because by the time he wrote his comment, I had not written anything at all in this AfD debate. What do you think he is, a mind reader? — JIP | Talk 17:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
    • If this chap hopes to get to Cambridge, it would probably be a good idea if he learnt some English! -- Necrothesp 13:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I wrote the above and I can Assure you that the Subject has had no influence over the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.210.226 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-08 15:13:05 UTC
  • Keep It's only as non-notable as any other article on this site. Notability is over-rated. Citing all that the member above wrote!  :D Big Booger 15:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)]
  • Keep Who are we to judge, this, I think such an individual, any individual is as worthy of note and non-deletion as say Naokawa, Oita. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.210.226 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-08 15:20:40 UTC
  • Keep Define Notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.210.226 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-08 15:13:05 UTC
  • Save To quote 'Redvers': To quote the article "James "Jimbo" Boulter is a little known character in the wider world"... an admision of non-notability - Perhaps the nuance of this delightful little article is lost upon my honourable friend! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlie Thompson (talk • contribs) 2005-11-08 15:20:01 UTC
  • Save Who are we to judge. Citing all the Keep and Save parties have said User Rob15v 15:25, 8 November 2005 (actually 62.253.210.226 2005-11-08 15:26:29 UTC according to edit history. Uncle G 17:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC))
  • Delete: When he actually leads the life less ordinary, he will be noted for an accomplishment that affected the lives more ordinary. Until then, he's some dude. Geogre 16:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, preferrably speedy. If he wants to create his own User account, then by all means he can have all that mentioned and listed. Else, I think that there's really no reason to have the article here. --Martin Osterman 16:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • "James 'Jimbo' Boulter is a little known character"... yup, I think that's a delete then. Not to mention what looks suspiciously like rampant sockpuppetry above. — Haeleth Talk 17:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable bio... and with a poorly executed meatsockpuppet support network. Now if you'll excuse me, all these votes have me in the mood to spin some Meat Puppets.--Isotope23 17:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Ive allready Said my fill however the subject of the article allready has an account though with no biography, this was written in a purely autobiographical sense and has been placed on wiki as a resource to all, I believe the auther wrote it to commemerate such a person and that James himself had no imput at all. Also James could be defined as significant under the code of conduct. He has received 42 commercial endorsments, significant local press coverage, has a fan base of several thousand this alone should give him a place, quite apart from the other issues my sock puppeting friend above has raised, I must add that I know this Jimbo and although I didnt write the article i would be prepared to verify the details User: Rob15v (comment originally by 217.44.195.40 (talk · contribs), then edited by User:Rob15v
  • Delete per nom; the James "Jimbo" Boulter article will soon be a little known record in meta:Archive_table. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 19:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Also, I vote for whacking the sockpuppet originator on the nose with a rolled newspaper. --William Pietri 21:48, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete under category A7 as a biography that doesn't assert notability. His one claim to fame is being Head Boy at his school. While he may hope to be Prime Minister of the UK, at the moment he is a schoolboy and not notable. Problems with WP:V. Capitalistroadster 23:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per Capitalistroadster & nomination. 70.27.59.200 03:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I have edited the page now inserting truthfull data, His group Neon did indeed win the awards and recieved significantr acliam as they were the youngest group in their catagory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob15v (talk • contribs) 10:54, 9 November 2005
  • Delete non-notable Fertray 16:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as important as any other article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.195.40 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 9 November 2005
  • Save Whatever your're views, this gentleman is clearly an asset to a local area and as worthy as mention as any other article on this fine website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marlin 22k (talk • contribs)
