[edit] Supervert

Supervert (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Delete. Subject of article doesn't seem to be that notable to be included in an encyclopedia. Has very little pages linking to it and no categories. CyberGhostface 23:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  • BLAM! gives this the feel of rather involved astroturfing. Delete. --humblefool® 00:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Hey, I wrote this (but not the BLAM! entry). I don't know what "astroturfing" means but it sounds like you're implying that this is spam. I'm a fan of this dude's work and of "transgressional" literature in general. If you look at my past contributions you'll see that this is the sort of thing I've tended to contribute. I started the article on David Britton, for example. These guys may not have the renown of Hemingway or Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean there aren't people interested. I'd hate to see this get deleted but, hey, I guess that's what Wikipedia is about: the will of the masses. (And maybe that's why guys like Britton and Supervert are "transgressional" -- the masses don't like 'em.) Don't delete. Crawlspace 03:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — Non-notable, intentional mysteriousness - "possibly also a trademark or brand name" - either it is, or it isn't. Books that have achieved "cult standing" don't necessarily deserve their own article. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 00:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - self-promo cruft, extremely NN. Pete Fenelon 01:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
