[edit] Matthew Knights

Was marked as a speedy but for vanity, so IMO not a candidate. I see you can speedy pages that don't assert notability, but I think the phrase "fuckin legend" is an assertion of notability. Like a merciful governor, I'm taking this off death row and sending it to VfD for a trial. I abstain. CanadianCaesar 06:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Done. If that's an assertion of notability, than there is no point to the policy. IMHO, an assertion of notability is not just "CanadianCaesar is notable," but "CanadianCaesar is notable because he has won six national amateur checkers tournaments in a row!" (ie, without a reason, there is no assertion). Then it's up to VfD to decide if the assertion holds up. Here there was nothing to judge, so no assertion made. --Dmcdevit·t 07:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
