[edit] Shelby Yoshida

This article was originally created by an anonymous contributor with an IP of 68.4.247.187 [1]. I placed a speedy tag on it because it was about a non-notable middle school student. After the tag was applied, the same IP address edited the page to say that Shelby Yoshida was in fact a mildly-notable 20-year-old artist [2].

Google turns up around ten hits for "Shelby Yoshida", none of which discuss artistic ability (they all reference swimming and dance competitions). One of the articles about swimming is from 2003 and Shelby Yoshida is given as being in the 9-10 age range. In addition, googling for "National Artists Convention", "Young Artists of California", and "Grislto" turn up no results.

Even if Ms. Yoshida is an artist, I don't think receiving two artistic awards (from two invisible organizations) merits inclusion in Wikipedia. Quicksandish 23:34, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
