[edit] Joe Cavaleri

Joe Cavaleri (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable guy that gets up and cheers at basketball games. As it stands, the one reference refers to a user comment to a news story about something else. The two external links are photo galleries. Nothing I'm turning up from google meets WP:RS. -- Ben 04:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete Who is this guy? Cheers, JetLover ^(talk) 04:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, but not speedy. The two photo gallery references suggest that the "Oh Ah Man" is someone known in the Arizona Wildcat community. That being said, there hasn't been any coverage of this guy that I can find that would satisfy WP:N. JCO312 04:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• From the article's talk page: I oppose deletion. There are periodical articles about Mr. Cavaleri, see link to Tucson Citizen. If College mascots are legitimate for wiki articles, so is Joe Cavaleri. This was Pavtron contesting the prod.--Chaser - T 04:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, guys. I should have mentioned that... I prodded the article and notified some of the people who worked on it. Pavtron opposed the deletion on the talk page. I removed the prod and started the AfD discussion. My omitting these details was not good. -- Ben 06:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems notable enough. Zchris87v 06:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Lacks multiple independent references with substantial coverage, so fails WP:BIO and WP:N. Edison 04:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)(oops !voted twice, so struck one)Edison 21:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge to the Wildcats article. --Dhartung | Talk 07:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete' not notable on his own, but a mention in the wildcats article, per dhartung, would be good. Nenyedi • ^{(Deeds•Talk)} 13:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge into Wildcats article. Of limited interest perhaps to most, but exactly the type of subject you want to see in the world largest encyclopedia.--Martin Wisse 14:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• A mention in the Wildcats article is fine, I think. He's definitely not notable enough for his own article, though; almost every team has a cheerleader of some sort, right down to junior leagues. Unless he's done something really impressive and been covered extensively, delete as non-notable. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I see no sources covering him. If there were, then it could be included, but unless there is coverage, it shouldn't even be in the other article. i ^said 02:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:N and WP:BIO for lack of multiple independent and reliable sources with substantial coverage. We delete well known college a capella groups left and right, so how in good conscience can we keep a guy who just grunts at basketball games?? Edison 04:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
