The result of the debate was REDIRECT to The Register. Note that addition to the register is entirely original writing and does not demand a redirect, however, a mention of it in that article does make a good case for the redirect. -Splash^talk 23:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Otto Z Stern

Page contains nothing but non-encyclopedic and/or false information. Otto Z Stern is a columnist for The Register and is borderline notable, if that Aim Here 01:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: This is not a real biography. "Otto Z Stern is just a great example of British sense of humour. It always surprises me when people respond angrily as though he's real and to be taken seriously." from reader feedback at Nick Lewis: The Blog. The Register has a tradition of satirical articles, which many people take seriously. Otto is nothing but a fake satirical character, and of course, there is no mention of this on the wikipedia article *yet* which makes it factually lacking. --Phanton 09:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
