[edit] Piggy bankrupt

Suspicious article and a web search for "Piggy Bankrupt" turned up zero hits. Appears to be self-promotion of a non-notable subject. Delete unless good verification available to establish notability. Dugwiki 16:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment This is not a self promoting article. Piggy bankrupt when typed into Google brings up the blog as the first result. In the UK Mark Davis is well known and has spoken about his personal bankruptcy a number of times in the press. I feel that having a wiki page can provide background information on him that may not be available on the blog or on other web pages. (posted by 2006 Bill4793611 (Talk | contribs) 16:32, 24 October )
    • Assuming for the moment you're correct about his fame in the UK, it still needs to be established in the article using independent, verifiable sources. Anybody can create their own blog and claim to be famous. The hard part is actually being famous enough that you are talked about in a major, reliable, independent publication. If the article can be expanded to provide such references, it will go a long way toward verifying notability preventing a possible deletion. Dugwiki 17:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
