The result was Speedy Keep (non-admin closure). Potential bad faith nomination. Give articles a chance before nominating them so soon after creation. WilliamH (talk) 15:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced, non-notable Ziggy Sawdust 19:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Ahem. There were two references in the article at the time you nominated this, one of them a New York Times profile. Please look at articles more carefully before rushing to the AfD button -- your hastiness causes other editors more work than is necessary. Oh, and for the record, keep: clearly meets WP:BIO, even in the stubby state it's in. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep It was stubbed with two references for notability in two areas (crime and pro-life). He's related to a number of organizations and individuals. --DHeyward (talk) 21:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep but clean up. It isn't really unreferenced, as Quasi points out, and the NYT profile gives plenty of evidence of his longterm anti-abortion activism even apart from his connection to Griffin. (And a quick Google bears this out as well.) It's in poor shape, but it isn't really a deletion candidate. --Dhartung | Talk 22:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the cleanup.
  • Keep I don't see a problem here. Jpmonroe (talk) 23:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It would be nice if we could add more biographical information here (such as birthdates, places, etc), but the article appears to be well-sourced. Bfigura (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment It was put up for deletion less than a minute after creation. I don't know why Ziggy is so quick to nom. I doubt he had time to read it or check the sources. He was blocked right after a number of noms for misuse of twickle. Anyone want to speedy this as a badd faith nom? --DHeyward (talk) 03:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
