[edit] Tim Lundquist
Page was created today, simply saying that he "is a figure in American Republican Party politics." Well, I guess that's an assertion of notability. I did a quick search to determine what kind of a figure he is, and the present article is the result. If it gets deleted, you can get rid of the picture too. --Michael Snow 20:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- I do not see any reason why this page should remain. It seems to have no real benefit to anyone.-- Cbackert 20:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Obviously some Congressman's aide got bored. Delete.--み使い Mitsukai 21:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. A not-notable staffer with a bad tie and no indication of encyclopedic relevance. Barno 21:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Google search shows nothing relevant until the second page. A president of a college student group is generally not notable by WP standards, except for some other achievement; a political blogger doesn't automatically make it either. Google search for his blog title, "Dead Right", shows only unrelated hits on the first two pages. Barno 02:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Further comment: I wonder if investigation would show many of the recent bad political edits to have originated from the same office as Mr. Lundquist. Barno 02:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment further investigation suggests that we can't be sure. It depends on how the US House of Representatives allocates its IP addresses. Physchim62 (talk) 04:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- This article was created not as a serious reference article, but as a test of how quickly wikipedia's editting community would find and correct a non-noteworthy article being posted. The page was not meant to be referenced (hence no external links were given). It was not created by the subject (Mr. Lundquist), in fact it was done without his express knowledge, and was neither an attempt at notability nor an exercise in vain self-promotion. Now that it has been found and corrected, we consider our test complete and I the author am deleting it. Delete User:bfegan 15:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
