[edit] Mark Brown Vestey

Mark Brown Vestey (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Originally speedy deletion tagged as an attack piece. Not sure that the article is not salvageable despite the verifiability, reliable sources problem and the BLP in some versions. Bringing it here for others to look at. Dlohcierekim 18:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

PSThe anon who tagged it for CSD says they were requested to have the article deleted by the subject. Dlohcierekim 19:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Even the longer versions in the history make little claim to notability other than that he inherited a lot of money. Pburka (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BLP1E, especially in light of the WP:BLP concerns outlined above. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 20:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to Mark Brown (something). I've formatted the sources in the article, and removed the ones that are only passing mentions, but there's certainly enough left to demonstrate notability and to provide verifiable information on which to rebuild the article. He is not notable simply for his inheritance, but for being regarded as one of the "most notorious anarchists in Europe", according to the Evening Standard source. The article should be moved to the correct name. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KeepProbobaly should rename it as above - I used Vestey to link it to the family which adds notability. Paki.tv (talk) 19:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
