Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason David Frank (2nd nomination)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy kept; this man is an actor who played a major role throughout six of the fifteen seasons of Power Rangers. In addition, the nom's first edits are to this area. Any other "delete" !votes come from individuals who appear to have WP:IDONTLIKEIT in their minds. There is no doubt that this individual is notable, and it's not at all a speedy deletion candidate as he suggests.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jason David Frank

Jason David Frank (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Borderline CSD A7 vanity page on a non-notable TV actor. Home run derriby 19:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as nominator. Home run derriby 19:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per leading role on a dumb-but-popular TV show. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The show has long been forgotten and subject is no longer notible. If you were to ask anoyone who this person was today, the general population would be clueless. Hendry1307 20:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    That... that's really not a good reason. The general population probably has no clue who Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria or Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan are, and yet those are both Featured Articles. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Power Rangers, like it or not, is a very successful franchise. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    Make that was a successful franchise. Today it's just a subculture that becomes sillier each year. Hendry1307 20:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    ...and? Notability is not subjective, nor is it temporary. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep As noted, notability is not temporary. Additionally, he is a recognizable celebrity, with an on-going career. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snicker (talk • contribs) 21:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC). Yeah - as the bot noted... that's my note :P --Snicker|¥°€| 21:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as a non-powerranger fan. I anticipate a notibility debate here. Axiomm 21:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    Pffft, I'm almost inclined to take your insinuation that I'm a Power Rangers fan as a personal attack. :P I'm no fan, but I'm also no fan of spurious AfDs. I'd like to point out that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason David Frank closed as Speedy Keep. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    Personal attack? Do you imply that his article is immune to AFD? We have thousands of bio articles AFD's each day, some a second time. I personally wonder if JDF ever used Wikipedia. Axiomm 22:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    ...it was a joke.
    I'm not suggesting that this article is immune, I'm just pointing out that its notability was questioned before, and found to be perfectly fine, and as notability doesn't slide given time, I feel the article should still be kept. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, looks okay, far removed from the limelight. Note that those in favour of delete will most likely be anti-PR. NoInsurance (chat?) 00:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, as he was he was a cast member on a very popular television show. He may not be as well-known now as he was back then, but as per guidelines state; "Notability is not temporary". And Axiom, you not being a fan has no standing at all. There are many shows of which I'm not fan, but that doesn't mean I should nominate them for AfD either. CardinalFangZERO 07:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Is this a joke nomination? 50,000 Google hits.[1] Certainly a notable actor, unless we only list major film stars, which isn't the case. Rito Revolto 19:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm no fan either, but I think that everyone knows what Power Rangers was; it has huge notability. It just seemed to go on and on and I have no idea why. Looking at the Tommy Oliver article, it seems that JDF is the most notable Power Rangers actor and I think that means that the notability of Power Rangers is inherited by JDF.

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as subject unquestionably passes WP:BIO. Needs to be better sourced, particularly his karate experience, since it appears now to be sourced by his dojo's home page. Otto4711 15:31, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep Let's see, this is a major character in an unquestionably notable franchise and he even starred in several other shows like Undressed and Sweet Valley High. This may not interest you, but that's not grounds for deletion. FrozenPurpleCube 19:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep does not apply to this nomination, unless you know something about the nominator that the rest of us don't. Otto4711 20:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. PRBuster2007 20:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
