[edit] Matt Sheppard

Contested prod. Not notable per WP:BIO, since there is no verifiable (even cited) claim of notability. Storkk 00:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vanity. -- RHaworth 00:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete per CSD A7/G11. Leuko 00:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Notability is claimed, so I don't believe this falls under CSD, or I would have {{db-bio}}'d it. --Storkk 00:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I know, I was just trying to effect the inevitable, without mentioning WP:SNOW. :-) Leuko 01:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per the article, which ends with the embarassing line, "For IB students around the world, past and present, the name Matt Sheppard will be the symbol of communication and camaraderie. We salut you." Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as vanity, or redirect to Matthew Shepard; could be a reasonable misspelling. --Allen 00:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Could be useful to IB students; no other site on the internet like the external linked site. Propose leaving some time for edition or rewrite. Point of article is to allow for flow of technical communication and discussion.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.36.62.139 (talk • contribs)

  • Delete no verification or sources to satisfy either WP:BIO or WP:WEB.-- danntm T C 03:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Unreferenced, unverified, possible vanity. Resolute 04:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Plus anyone wanna check on International Baccalaureate to see if it checks out? --Arbusto 05:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, clearly vanity. I agree with User:Starblind. JIP | Talk 05:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • WP:SNOW delete per above. MER-C 06:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Matthew Shepard. Homonyms? Homophones? I've forgotten my second-grade English classes. The Literate Engineer 07:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

      • Ah! I was thinking the "Same pronunciation, different spelling & meaning" situation, with the last names only. The Literate Engineer 20:24, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 17:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Love the "sort of ancestor to Wikipedia" bit. Appears to be WP:VAIN. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 17:53, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The sites may be of note to some, but Mr Sheppard is not. It's not well constructed either Blowmonkey 19:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as vanity article and no showing of notability. Ramsquire 19:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and Redirect to Matthew Sheppard per explanation by Hyperbole. Ramsquire 20:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete & redirect. Gazpacho 19:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Why should we redirect to the notable Matthew Sheppard, it is two different people? Ramsquire 19:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO and redirect to Matthew Sheppard. At first, I would have opposed the redirect, but a Google search indicates that Matthew Sheppard is occasionally referred to as Matt (e.g., [1]). There is also an assistant director named Matt Sheppard ([2]), but he appears to be a non-notable person. --Hyperbole 19:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect/protect redirect to the Matthew Shepard article. · XP · 21:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    comment I'd object to protecting any redirect, since the Matt Sheppard who is the assistant director to the upcoming movie Lycanthropy - or the Matt Sheppard who maintains kstructIB - or some other Matt Sheppard - could become notable in the future. --Hyperbole 23:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - It looks like an ego trip. George J. Bendo 22:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, or redirect to Matthew Shepard. No citations or proof that his site is notable, and the tone of the article definitely smells like vanity to me. -Elmer Clark 23:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, non notable and redirect as above stated to Matthew Shepard --NuclearZer0 15:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
