Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Johnston

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 of the debate was userfied and deleted, per below. It was userfied before this Afd, and the deletes have been unanimous. Also, since people want to have an article about another person by the same name, and this article's history is not useful in that regard, it seems a delete is quite reasonable without waiting the traditional 5 days.

[edit] Joe Johnston

"Joe Johnston" was previously userfied, to its creator User:Rotundgrappler, as a vanity (history), though had previously been a semi-attack page for Robert De Niro [1]. Rotundgrappler was advised not to create vanity pages, yet he blanked his user page and created this, a duplicate of the old page. One administrator has determined this shouldn't be speedy deleted, so let's have a show of hands. My vote is Delete. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 23:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - but it's still not a speedy candidate. :) Phil Sandifer 00:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • comment - psst... I wasn't gonna mention any names. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 00:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete or re-userfy. I see no need to apply Afd to this. Friday 00:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, and I don't think it's a speedy either. (Rule of thumb: if you have to doublecheck on google, it's not an A7.) "Joe Johnston" "Russian Prince" gets 6 hits; only the first is relevant, and its the site where the "documentary" is available for download. Playing football for your university doesn't get you an article, either. —Cryptic (talk) 00:12, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as A6 attack page as it claims that its subject is a chronic alcoholic and that the film was supposedly named after a brand of vodka. There is a notable director named Joe Johnson who directed "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and "Jumanji" see [2]. Capitalistroadster 00:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I at least recognised that. But why do you describe us as sensitive? -- RHaworth 05:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: "sensitive pricks"? Me and who, CSD-bot? Once again, (I assume you are Rotundgrappler) spare the personal attacks. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 05:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete since he does not want to be userfied. But this is definitely a wanted article about the other Joe Johnston. -- RHaworth 05:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn, nn, nn. Per CR: I suspect that the so-called attack aspects of the page are in fact self-applied descriptions as part of a misguided hipster image. Hope I'm wrong. Dottore So 14:41, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as attack page and nn director. Once it's deleted, we could use an article about the other Joe Johnston, though. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:22, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
