[edit] Narziß Ruiz

I think this is a hoax. All the pictures on the article are not of him and it seems very unlikely that a 21 year old would be a notable philosopher so early in life. This appears to be a difficult case so sorry if I am wrong. Captain panda 03:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The photos were temporary. This is the first article I've created, and I was just trying to figure out how to post pictures. More information on his philosophy will come when I have more time, I find it very interesting. However, I just wanted to get down some biographical information on this student.

  • Delete as per nom clearly not notable.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 04:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Completely unverifiable, and a lot of the details look fishy. ß isn't a letter used in Spanish names (it's rare even in Germany), and the City College of San Francisco doesn't offer a program in philosophy. Zetawoof(ζ) 04:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Ridiculous that people are marching around with their torches, it seems to me this is a blind, unfounded, and overdone. Wikipedia torchers are not compassionate to the manner of trial and error concerning how to create a page on wikipedia, and they don't even read the entire article before they start to argue their vast understanding of names. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Semiology (talk • contribs) 06:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Blind, unfounded and overdone what? And how about addressing the more important issue that the college you named doesn't exist? Don't get angry because you got caught in a hoax. JuJube (talk) 09:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
To be fair, the college does exist. The problem is that they don't offer a philosophy major - indeed, as a community college, they don't offer any bachelor's degree programs. Zetawoof(ζ) 19:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article as currently written looks like a hoax -- such as describing the subject as a Spanish philosopher without having ever lived in Spain, and having him adopt a name containing a letter used only in German (eszett) without having ever lived in a German-speaking country. Furthermore, his name generates zero Google hits, which is very low for a contemporary college student in the United States. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as a vanity article. No evidence that any serious philosopher takes his musings seriously.

  • Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube (talk) 07:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Seems fake at worst, and self vanity at best. Delete if fake, and delete as not notable. If author can prove publication then keep.Pookakitty (talk) 10:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - Just to point out to you, even if we did find publication, it wouldn't do much in the way of establishing notability. This would mean 99% of college professors in the world would suddenly break the wikipedia threshold of notability. Just something for future reference.Gwynand (talk) 14:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
      • If having written "numerous critiques" is sufficient to show notability, most college students would qualify. Zetawoof(ζ) 19:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Either a hoax or a nonnotable junior-college student. I'm curious about the "concept of entrails and apparitions," though. Sounds rather icky. Deor (talk) 13:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Typically dumb schoolkid hoax. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - per nom, now per wp:SNOWBALL. Is there anyway to keep a history of his page somewhere for the sake of comedy. I really did enjoy reading it.Gwynand (talk) 14:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Hoax, nonsense. Lawrence § t/e 00:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, rather than a social-networking website. If the subject of the article actually ends up writing books and so forth, he'll probably eventually qualify as notable. Until then, he hasn't actually done anything of note and therefore doesn't get an article. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 01:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand the criterion now. Thank you BigHaz. I can't figure out how to delete the article. Semiology (talk) 22:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Regular users can't delete articles, although now you've indicated that you believe it should be deleted, I would imagine an admin will delete it shortly. Before anyone says it, I can't use my admin powers here, since I've contributed to the discussion. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
