The result was delete. The delete arguments were stronger than the keep arguments, and this certainly has the look of a vanity article. The references, as noted, are very week. The failed political career is not notable. But still, it was a close call...almost a no consensus, but in the end, there just wasn't enough of a case made for notability for the article to stay. —Doug Bell talk 05:17, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jonnie Stewart
Non-notable wrestler, and his only claim to fame was being mistaken for the comedian Jon Stewart due to their similiar names. TJ Spyke 23:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom. Also, some of his "sources" are pretty dodgy: "Official Jonnie Stewart bio at the AWA headquarters." -- Scorpion 00:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete although you have to admit it's mildly comedic that such a non-entity has his own page, and a rather wordy one at that. Suriel1981 02:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- The page is self created vanity project. If you look at the edit history of the creator [1], you can see statements like "Photo rights owned by myself, Jon Stewart." -- Scorpion 02:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- That should speed up the deletion process, right? Suriel1981 03:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and Cleanup It looks a good size article. I've never heard of this person and I think it really needs to get cleaned up as well. Davnel03 19:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- So your saying keep just because it's a good sized article? I could write a good sized article on myself too, but that wouldn't be a reason to keep it. -- Scorpion 19:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. He asserts notability: a former wrestler, political career (even though it failed) and so on. A vote with just "who" isn't being helpful. Remember people: it's not about the votes, it's about the arguements for and against the article. RobJ1981 21:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete He may be a former wrestler, but a non-notable wrestler. Just running for politcal office isn't notable either. Lrrr IV 03:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep His heyday was the late 80's, he did manage to get some national media attention and does own part of a national indy promotion, I do remember him on ESPN. Figurefour1900 21:19, 27 Feburary 2007 (UTC)— Figurefour1900 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- He doesn't own any part of the current AWA, he just helped start it (and it took 9 years it to really get going). TJ Spyke 03:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
