[edit] Joe Prissel

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

NN autobiography. Author seems to feel quite strongly that autobiographies are suitable for encyclopedias. I feel differently. Speedy tag removed multiple times, prod tag deleted, inappropriate person tag removed with the statement "IT IS AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY". Brought this here for consensus - I'm with CSD A7, but it's borderline. Might also be copyvio, the prose doesn't make it entirely clear one way or the other. EDIT: Copy-paste from nobelprize.org. Barring a nobelprize.org license that I'm unaware of, this qualifies it for G12. Action Jackson IV 20:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Breaking News - copypaste of this site. G12. --Action Jackson IV 20:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is a hoax. The 1989 von Neumann prize was given to someone named Harry Markowitz. (see here) Various searches online have failed to turn up someone who should be fairly notable. Brianyoumans 20:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • (edit conflict with what was just said above)Speedy delete as a hoax. The 1989 winner of the John Von Neumann Theory Prize was Harry M. Markowitz, not Joe Prissel. I couldn't find any references to Joe Prissel in conjunction with Harry Markowitz or George Dantzig. I think the article was written by a high school student, who probably has no idea who George Dantzig is, much less his role in operations research. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes, who is this Joe Prissel anyways, and what is he doing with Harry Markowitz's von Neumann prize? Brianyoumans 20:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete Disgusting attempt to claim credit for someone else's work. Possibly some sort of scam, possibly just someone goofing around, but either way get it off Wikipedia immediately. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
