[edit] Radio Tramp

Radio Tramp (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable person. Apparently a "suspicious fellow" who hangs around a shopping center. Speedy tag removed so I bring it here. IrishGuy ^talk 00:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

• STRONG KEEP. Very notable person. I see them all the timeGypsy Eyes 00:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Seeing someone doesn't make that person notable. IrishGuy ^talk 00:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I can understand why there would be a problem here. But anyone who has spent any time in Cambridge city centre will have seen (and certainly heard!) Radio Tramp. I've got to go to bed now, but I shall continue this discussion in the morning if you like. Gypsy Eyes 00:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

That would fall under original research. This is not a verifiably notable person. IrishGuy ^talk 00:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete (if not already SD'd - Speedy tag was back up when I looked). Clearly fails WP:BIO. Bencherlite 00:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• STRONG KEEP. I think this page should be kept as it details a regular phenomenon and experience of Cambridge shoppers and residents, giving others insight into colloquialisms that would otherwise have them confused.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.19.173.209 (talk • contribs).
• Delete unless sourced. I can imagine that this tramp might, just possibly, have a couple of articles about him in local papers, making him notable. I want to see the sources, though. --N Shar 00:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless multiple reliable sources treating the subject in a non-trivial manner are provided. Certainly nothing can be found through Google via web [1], news [2] or books [3].--Fuhghettaboutit 00:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, utterly ridiculous. Natalie 02:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete and tagged as such. This is the very definition of a speedy for non-notable. Philippe Beaudette 02:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless sources are added _SUBWAYguy 02:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• speedy Delete per nomination.Julia 02:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Ha ha, does he live in a Radio Shack? Sorry, very non-notable. --Canley 04:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Being well-known does not make this person notable. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 04:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
