[edit] Marc Balian

Contested prod (which I'd added, if anyone needs to know). Basically, what we have here is a high school student who seems like a talented young man and probably has a bright future - the key word being "future", as in not right now. The closest thing to notability is a collection of awards for public speaking and the fact that he spoke at a ceremony for an important religious figure. As a speaker and debater myself, I know it's not easy to win those sorts of awards, but they don't really equate to notability I don't think.

• Delete. Unsourced, vanity page. AmitDeshwar 00:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete {{db-bio}}. Not only is there no claim to notability (hundreds of people when speech awards each year, that's not a claim to notability), it's a clear vanity page with one of the most blatant PoV's I've ever seen on a purportedly serious article. -- Chabuk 03:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity, non-notable person in the here and now. We can't userfy it to the person's page? -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 04:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete - nn bio. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or userfy. If he maintains this level of accomplishment, I'm sure he'll be legitimately back on here someday, but as of September 26, 2006 the article doesn't suggest that he's done anything encyclopedic. Bearcat 23:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
