[edit] Matt Harding

Vanity about a guy's quest for Internet fame. Let's not encourage this sort of thing. tregoweth 05:22, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - The man was on four television talk shows and almost bagged a fifth if it weren't for Hurricane Kat. Endomion 05:30, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete The 15 minutes are up. Flyboy Will 06:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this guy was on Ellen, which is more than I can see for featured article subject KaDee Strickland. -- MisterHand 06:32, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Are you serious? The proverbial Kadee Strickland, goddamn her for being a featured article, received star billing in the crappy Anacondas sequel, and had a bunch of visible supporting parts in A-list movies such as Fever Pitch and Woody Allen's Anything Else. But if Ellen is your criteria, then KaDee was on The Tony Danza Show. Flyboy Will 10:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and get KaDee a page too Jakiah 10:38, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Temporary celebrities are not notable in an encyclopedia. -- Dalbury(Talk) 12:13, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, even temporary celebrities are appropriate for an encyclopedia as long as they are verifiable, which this one appears to be. JYolkowski // talk 18:55, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I would question whether this guy is a "celebrity", temporary or not. Madman 22:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep As per JYolkowski Jcuk 23:53, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Do you seriously want an encyclopaedia article on a man who performed a Jed Clampett impersonation as a one off on a series of Tv shows?--Porturology 01:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Vanity. Do we want to clutter up this encyclopedia with articles on folks like this?? Madman

Don't Delete. This guy is pretty cool. Obviously someone thought he was interesting enough to write about in the first place. If you actually visit his site, it's interesting and somewhat educational in a very casual since. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.210.171.84 (talk • contribs)

  • Delete If being on morning shows was criteria for notability then wikipedia would have more talk show fairing zookeepers. Lotusduck 07:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Obviously, he was famous for being on more than four talk shows, and I think he may have done a couple of other things. Lotusduck 20:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
