possible series of vanity articles LeyteWolfer 03:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the exact same reason:

Carla Kettner (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Anna Fricke (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Susan Strickler‎ (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
The reasoning for the AfD is that the article was ghostwritten by User:Wilhelmina Will for an unregistered editor who hasn't established notability and, frankly, refuses to. When asked to improve the article, the original author instead chose to harass the various participants (including Wilhelmina Will) to the point of being IP-banned for 72 hours.
I see no reason to speedily delete, but my doubts arise from concerns that the other ghost-written articles all revolve around other Hollywood writers whom previously have not established notability. The cynic in me is concerned that these might be second-person vanity articles, due to the timing with the current writer's strike in the US. Needless to say, I am not emotionally invested in it, so will not fight for a pro-deletion consensus, if the intent is clear to keep it. Thank you. --LeyteWolfer 03:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete CSD A7, does not assert the significance or importance of the subject. All this tells us is that this is a guy doing his job. --Malcolmxl5 04:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: CSD-A7. ANothing more than a resume here. - Rjd0060 05:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. Qworty 09:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I highly doubt that these articles are second-person vanity articles due to the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike. This user (under various IP addresses) has been around for some time, before this strike, asking editors to create specific writer (as well as producer) articles. Asked me twice.

  • Comment: Well, as I've said before, what must be done, must be done. I thought at first that it could be improved, but a google search didn't even give me the gender of this writer, let alone much else in the way of useful. But perhaps it doesn't have to be deleted. Maybe TTN, who has expertise in this sort of thing, could just redirect it to one of the pages of a television program "Robin Burger" supposedly worked for.

  • KEEP SUSAN STRICKLER!!! She has been nominated for how many Emmy's and you people want to delete her from Wikipedia??????? Give me a break this is supposed to be an encyclopedia for celebrities large adn small!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stricklerfan (talk • contribs) 17:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per Stricklerfan and David Eppstein. These articles just need improvement, not deletion. Flyer22 04:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Susan Strickler - she is certainly notable, by virtue of being Emmy-nominated - and delete the others. Wikipedia is not IMDB, and we don't need an article on every single writer/producer in Hollywood, unless they're particularly notable for some other reason. As an aside to the nominator, the incivility of the creator of these articles should not be justification for their deletion. -- Terraxos (talk) 18:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
