[edit] Josh Ballard

I believe that this page should be deleted because there is little content which is Important. The person did die which made it semi-notable, but other than that there doesn't seem to be much more to it than any other page created for bloggers or forum posters.

This article was nominated by one editor, and the subpage created by another, and I added it to the log, and then couldn't figure out why it didn't appear in the list, but we had all missed the {{afd2}} template, it turns out. -GTBacchus^(talk) 07:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If it was an Internet phenomenon, it would get more than 876 Google results [[1]. This is a tragic youth suicide but not notable enough in my book. Capitalistroadster 08:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - WP:NOT a memorial, and Internet phenomenons demand at least five digit Google counts. FCYTravis 08:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• keep Seems to me that it might be worth keeping since it is unusual. If anything it should be mentioned on the MySpace article. --The_stuart 17:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It's an unusual story that gained a decent amount of popularity. The use of MySpace for a suicide note is notable. - Dalta
• Merge into MySpace -Arm 07:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into MySpace as it has only real significance with this site. - (Erebus555 16:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC))
• Delete If We keep this We might as well list all of the other people that did the same as Him.
• Merge with suicide and Myspace. Shows the outcome of reactions from friends,the humilaty of doing such an act and shows how selfish that they are.
• Only marginally notable. Should be Merged into MySpace and replaced with a redirect to MySpace.Rast 01:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

He is just a fad. He wanted attention now he has gotten it.
