[edit] Knurek

Non-notable vanity. Kevin 00:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as A7. Alr 00:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per above. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am new to articles but I disagree with assessment of "non-notable" as well as that of "vanity." As a resident of CT, I feel I am in a position to assess notability of people from the state. If you feel the article is too much in the direction of "vanity," then please edit and/or suggest how to remove vanity from the article (which I assert is not "vanity" in itself).--RexRex84 01:00, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Feel free to disagree, but our policy (WP:VAIN) is quite clear on this. Alr 01:14, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the link to vanity pages. I still fail to see how the article is in itself "vanity." Is it an issue of verifiable information? I can tell you that the subject is well-known and people in the region would be interested in the information. Published facts attesting to the "notable" status of the subject is well-founded. If there are parts of the article that are deemed "vanity" then they can be deleted, but I think the article as a whole is not. Information about the subject is of value, but perhaps not all of it. Moreover, it seems as if the policy is a little vague (as it concedes) and I think this issues can be remedied without deletion of the article. Also, per A7, the article's subject does not lack importance, and is in fact fairly important in its respective region.--68.9.241.103 01:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable vanity biography Recommend the article author see WikiMe for writing biographies and/or WikiTree for writing genealogies. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-04 01:51Z
    • Thanks for suggestion. Can someone advise on how author can remove page?
      • The creator of the article can request it be Speedy Deleted by adding {{db|Article author requesting deletion}} to the top of the original article (this is G7 under WP:CSD) —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-04 02:13Z
  • Delete. wikipedia is not a family history site. The suggestions of alternative wikis given by Quarl seem more appropriate for this if it must be kept at all. Evil Eye 02:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
    • That's what I was asking about a biography site, I misplaced the article I guess (according to policy guidelines). I am asking how to remove an article (how an author can). "The suggestions of alternative wikis given by Quarl seem more appropriate for this if it must be kept at all"...No need to be confrontational, please advise on how to remove.
      • Comment: The AfD process is that which removes pages - an admin will come around in a few days and likely delete the page. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 02:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
