[edit] Jason Allentoff

NN. Rl 21:02, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

My apologies for keeping the explanation so short for this nomination, I will try to make up for it by elaborating a bit more now: The IMDB entry lists in great detail an impressive number of mostly miniscule achievements (production assistant, web site designer, etc. for what seem to be NN movies). Thus, I suspect the IMDB entry is vanity. On top of that, the biography in WP which also reads like vanity is lifted verbatim off IMDB, so we have a copyvio on top of it (I only noticed that right now, hence no copyvio tag).

Just for the faithful reader's entertainment, check out the trivia section of the biography at IMDB. His links to other people on IMDB include his dad, his mom, brother, cousin, uncle, and his grandma. His grandfather is mentioned but sadly has no IMDB entry yet. I am not making this up.

• Weak keep. Article links to an IMDB entry which has been used as a measuring stick for notability before. Needs to be wikified/cleaned-up/expanded though. ESkog 22:16, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:VAIN. IMDB, like the Google test, is useful but not a strict rule. Radiant_* 09:33, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, insufficient evidence of encyclopedic significance. Some editors consider the mere presence of an IMDB entry to be sufficient for an article, while many (realizing that IMDB accepts anyone's entries) consider it to be just a source for possible notability. Barno 16:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. A textbook example of why existance of an IMDB entry alone doesn't establish notability. Quale 06:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non notable. Grue 17:37, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
