[edit] Nicholas Ballasy

Delete - Subject of article fails to meet guidelines for WP:BIO or WP:VANITY SeannyFunco 16:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nn-bio, looks more like vanity. --Terence Ong 16:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I tagged User:Allgamenab's other creation, Lucas Joseph, as a speedy (NN). --Fang Aili 17:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't see how this violates the policy. Ballasy is well known on his campus and in the state of Jersey and his shows are all over the internet and he has his own official web site. He deserves the promotion other people who have wikipedia pages dedicated to them and their work recieve. Thank you for your understanding. I don't believe it is vanity. I am simply writing information about the man and his accomplishments like the articles written on many other people here on wikipedia include. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allgamenab (talk • contribs)

• Delete Non-notable. "All over his campus" doesn't begin to qualify as notable, and these days everybody and his brother has a web site. WP does not exist to "promote" people who are not already well-known. Fan1967 19:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable, WP:BIO applies. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Has his own website, huh? I gotta get me on that there internet one of these days. Fellas down at the barber shop say I'm really missin' out. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ballasy exists and has really interviewed all those well known people...are you trying to challange that fact?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.62.95 (talk • contribs)

Aside, is that your job? To make jokes about entries...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.62.95 (talk • contribs)

I understand it's not about promotion, but he and his work exist. Has everyone heard about everything written in encyclopedias? - NO—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.62.95 (talk • contribs)

• Delete, nn college kid. Let me know how it goes Starblind, my buddies down here at the salt mine say the same thing. Deizio 12:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Many of you are very sarcastic. I will just have to get others to back me up.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.62.95 (talk • contribs)

• Allgamenab, (or Unsigned, if you're different people): it's nothing against either you or Ballasy, who is probably a fine upstanding person with a bright future, but there are standards, as listed in WP:BIO, as to who gets a Wikipedia article. It's not everyone. And you sarcastic folks, don't you bother getting your own websites. This Internet thing is a fad. It will never last. Oh, and Delete, per WP:BIO.
