[edit] Tom Lennon and Martin Blair

This "comedy duo" are simply nonnotable. I placed a db-bio tag on the article, and the author replaced it with a hold-on tag, but the argument he made (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tom_Lennon_and_Martin_Blair) on behalf of the article is not convincing. So, I am here, asking for your opinion(s) on the matter. Oh, and to make matters worse, this same author keeps inserting information about these two men into other articles only vaguely connected to these two gentlemen. This indicates to me that he is trying to manufacture the facade of notability---in his defense of the duo, on the article talk page, he refers to himself as a "fan and well-wisher".

  • Delete I did a google search on these two: "Tom Lennon Martin Blair" because as a comedy duo you would have expected to find their names together. Turned up nothing at all. Viridae 05:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. Has anyone noticed that an anonymous user (I have figured out which one it is, but I will) has been editing this AfD page, changing people's comments, and completely rewriting my argument for AfD? As you can imagine, the drivel at the top of this page is not what I originally said. ---Charles 16:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Ok, it was user 81.174.142.153, which I suspect is a sockpuppet for the article's original author, due to edits I have found on this article and a couple other articles vaguely related to Tom Lennon and Martin Blair. I will report this abusive behavior to an administrator. ---Charles 16:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
