[edit] Rand Fishkin

Rand Fishkin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I've received a credible request for courtesy deletion from the subject of this biography. Per the precedents at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Seth_Finkelstein_(2nd) and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Daniel_Brandt_(14th_nomination), please delete (first choice) or (second choice) merge/redirect into search engine optimization. Mr. Fishkin's page is a stub and he's probably less notable than either Mr. Finkelstein or Mr. Brandt. I doubt very much that any paper-and-ink encyclopedia would devote an article to him, and although this is sourced, it's basically only five lines of material. That's unlikely to ever grow into a featured article and the person whose most affected by this article's existence would be happier without it. Let's give him some peace.

• Delete I started the article and I confirm that the subject requested deletion. He's borderline notable. It's not going to hurt us to let go of this article. - Jehochman ^Talk 20:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; eh. Could be considered WP:BLP1E material, really; borderline notability, and as we've seen before, why spend the time fighting over stuff like this? Tony Fox (arf!) 20:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: NN, overstated references.Toddstreat1 21:11, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - courtesy costs nothing. Springnuts 21:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, optionally merge professional material into an article on SEOmoz instead. Very marginal notability. --Dhartung | Talk 00:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Unanimous opinions. Could we get a WP:SNOW here? Even the subject of the bio wants this gone. Durova^Charge! 15:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
