[edit] Ned Dougherty

Delete. This man has done nothing except issue a prophesy that managed to be correct (even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so making that prediction is not notable by itself). The article has no sources except the man's own homepage and near-death.com; this does not constitute widespread media coverage. In short: I can't find any evidence of notability.

• Delete per nom, non-notable. (And... "atheist-American"? Wha?) · rodii · 04:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. His prophecy was "A major terrorist attack may befall New York City or Washington, DC". Wow. No wonder he hasn't had any media coverage. the wub "?!" 12:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• I hereby prophesize that Lord Bob will vote to delete this non-notable person's article. Delete. Hey, I was right! Lord Bob 16:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• I knew Lord Bob was going to do that, but now I can't prove it, can I? I guess I won't write a wiki article about it then. But if my prophecy can't be on WP, then neither can Ned's! Delete as shameless self-promotion. BTW, the book he wrote can be found here [1]. Slowmover 17:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• The vote may go to Delete this article. Hey, Edgar Cayce, Jeane Dixon, move over! RGTraynor 21:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete because I forsee that's what is going to happen anyway. KillerChihuahua^?!? 00:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom, although I am wary of contradicing a man with sources like his. As the article says, "He has said to have spoken with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary about several matters". --[User:Jesus H. Christ]] --[User:Virgin Mary]] --BrownHairedGirl 00:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 17:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
