[edit] Kevin Bowen

Vanity, borderline nonsense. CDC (talk) 00:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC) Less nonsensical now. CDC (talk) 16:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - Clearly not a vanity piece, since he didn't write it. (unsigned vote from 68.249.89.128 [1] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • i vote against deletion, this article is informative and true.

-Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka

    • the above vote is from 216.179.3.225. Something tells me it's not really Lowtax R Calvete 01:29, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Keep. As for vanity, Kevin Bowen is a relatively well known writer for Something Awful and has been a contributor there for quite a while. As for being nonsense, the article appears to have been vandalised a bit recently. That doesn't merit deletion. R Calvete 01:29, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Keep prolific writer (he also writes for gaming sites), cartoonist, Flash animator, voice actor, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:01, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Like others said, he's not just some random nobody.--DooMDrat 02:29, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Sheesh without context and even sometimes with Indonesia is borderline nonsense I mean what the heck Internet Police--nugz 02:29, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Known SA writer. Nestea 20:31, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - above the bar of notability. Oliver Keenan 20:58, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well rooted internet personality and one of the staples of something awful. (unsigned vote from 64.198.233.104 [2] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • keep -well known from something awful. (unsigned vote from 195.92.168.170 [3] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • keep - He's an internet superstar. -GregNorc (talk) 17:40, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - "well known"? It's an internet writer who gets 10x less hits than an ESPN Page 3 writer. Let's all start up pages on every person who writes on the internet. This isn't a vote its a joke, the SA fanboys and gals are banned from discussion. (unsigned vote from 68.77.90.72 [4] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - doesn't seem like much of a vanity piece to me, since it's just a factual entry; other something awful updaters are included on wiki as well, so if he's up for deletion, we should get rid of the rest, as well. (unsigned vote from 172.148.89.73 [5] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - well known from SA. Avertist 23:11, 2005 May 15 (UTC)
  • Keep - perhaps deleting the 'well-known', as anyone outside of SA would probably not recogize him (unsigned vote from AmishCellPhone [6] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • delete - I see SA stuff here all the time its like they're spamming the site. Even in goatse's entry they have something SA related. It's ridiculous, you can't reward spamming. (unsigned vote from 68.77.90.72 [7] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - WHat, so because something is related to SA it's suddenly not worthy of documenting...? --Squirminator2k 08:37, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - come on guys, nobody wants to read this (unsigned vote from Sean Heron [8] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Delete, or maybe merge with Something Awful. →Iñgōlemo← talk 03:06, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep - Fragmaster is known for more than his SA contributions, and has written for other popular websites such as those he worked for on the Gamespy Network. - Shitties
  • Delete, in agreement with →Iñgōlemo← and 68.77.90.72. Ctz 22:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
