Man-Faye

The article is about someone whose notability is that he was banned from anime conventions for inappropriate behavior. Fails WP:BIO and the article fails the greatest of all WP essays - WP:HOLE. Some of this probably crosses into original research, or, at least, you would have to go digging through the guy's blog to verify the statements of the article ... not that a blog is particularly a verifiable source.

• Redirect/delete. If this guy is a "hero", someone might try to recreate this article, so it should probably be redirected somewhere. On the whole, it's just a... bad... article, for lack of a better word. It's unlikely to be more than a paragraph/stub or original research which doesn't befit a general encyclopedia. Right now it's heavily biased and I don't know if it even could be cleaned up... --Keitei (talk) 15:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but tagged-He is notable enough to be featured on several television shows. The article does need to be clean up though. 205.157.110.11 15:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, this just doesn't meet biography notability criteria. And I really don't think appearing on a late night television show as a kind of sideshow amusement makes you encyclopedic. --Cyde↔Weys 15:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I'm surprised this article is up for AfD. Man-Faye is very well known within anime convention and cosplaying circles, but mostly as the prime example, along with Sailor Bubba, of frighteningly bad cosplaying tastes. O_o --TheFarix (Talk) 16:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Hasn't this article been up for deletion before? In any case, Man-Faye possess enough of a degree of Infamy to have an article. He's even been interviewed for television. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elijya (talk • contribs)
• Keep - notable enough, but the article quality is dodgy and needs a serious rewrite. -- Whpq 18:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Per Cyde and nom. We have articles about Abraham Lincoln, Caesar Augustus, and Man-Faye!?!? Something doesn't seem right here. Fails WP:BIO and, of course, WP:HOLE. Alphachimp ^talk 23:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no real media coverage shown (sorry a YouTube of TechTV really does not count as serious media coverage) --Pboyd04 00:35, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Cosplay, as the subject of the article appears to be only known to a certain group of people, though not notable outside of that group. If anything a short mention could be made on the Cosplay article, but Sean Black's changing of the article into a redirect some time ago is probably for the best.

• Keep per everyone. Danny Lilithborne 02:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comments with neutral net value On a national TV show... That's keep-y, but on the other hand... a guy who got thrown out of a convention, um... not convincing me. Also, page is written rather POV. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 02:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant keep per above. Man-Faye is infamous enough to warrant an article. Get rid of the POV, though. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 05:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. nn, horrible POV article. I've been barred from pubs for behaving like a tosser. Can I have an article? -- GWO
• Delete per nom, WP:HOLE indeed. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Has notability, but not a lot. Could it be smerged somewhere? Kotepho 17:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep please is well known inside anime convention and cosplay circles Yuckfoo 20:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'd say Man-Faye is well-known enough (and interesting enough) to warrant an article. The article itself could benefit from a good rewrite, though. -Rikoshi 20:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO, we could do with fewer articles like this. Recury 00:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
