  • Neutral. Strange vote, I know, but: the article he wrote appears to be very notable, with numerous articles written about it in major publications. Does that translate to notability for him? I don't know at this stage. --Charlene 11:03, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete student who got in trouble for writing a nasty article. When an article has to stoop to telling us someone's nickname on their high school soccer team, that's a bad, bad sign. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I can only find one media source for this alleged "media storm" that's actually from a genuine media source, all the rest are Duke internal publications - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Google News Archives indicates this was notable. Im not keen on bio's for a single event, so I would prefer that we redirected this to another article, but I cant see one where this would be mentioned significantly enough to be appropriate. John Vandenberg 11:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete cmon, clearly fails WP:BIO; his brief flurry with fame as an unpleasant jew-baiter hardly qualifies! Eusebeus 15:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Per Eusebeus. Possible candidate for Wikinews article (archive). --Aarktica 15:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
