[edit] Rick Bayan
This article is moved from CSD to AFD. I think there is some assertion of notability although the validity of that claim remains to be seen. I think the community is best positioned to make that decision. JodyB talk 14:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

- Rick Bayan is not more notable than any other internet blogger with a forum, the sources provided are all personal or blog sites besides the Psychology Today article. Is this the sort of irrelevant personas we want included in an encyclopedia, because if it is, I should have an article about myself. I have been mentioned on a few websites, have my own website, and a blog. I also have been published in a few small publications for projects I have worked on and also self-published some pen and paper games. Rick Bayan simply does not meet the criteria for notability, the article itself is an exercise in vanity or at least vicarious living (if written by one of his admirers from his forum), is simply a regurgitation of text from the site and is not in anyway necessary or enriching to this encyclopedia.
