[edit] Victor Thorn (patriot)

Who is this guy and why is he important? Another vanity page. Johnwwatson 00:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment - the use of "vanity" is now discouraged. Instead please use "apparent Conflict of interest" per WP:COI Jpe|ob 03:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom; notability not established. M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 01:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable. Hello32020 01:31, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. He has self-published two books see [1]. He doesn't meet WP:BIO for mine. If kept, should be renamed to an NPOV title of author. Patriot is a very POV title. Capitalistroadster 01:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• STRONG Delete The entire article is one part POV - including the title. I would suggest that the eleventh prime minister of Luxembourg was a patriot of his country, as well! Also, this article is just plain short on factual information - including, for example, that Victor Thorn is the pseudonym of Scott Makufka. The other part? Patent nonsense and misrepresenting a conspiracy theorist's rants as fact. Imban 01:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Imban. Risker 01:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. TJ Spyke 03:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Unless I'm missing something, even the title is laughably point of view. In what sense is he a "patriot"? Pascal.Tesson 04:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Patriotically delete this conflict of vanity which egregiously overboldifies. -- Hoary 05:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Self-publication of two books don't eastablish notablity.-- danntm ^T _C 20:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, if only for using the term "patriot" to describe him. The title of the article alone is a major NPOV issue. --Hemlock Martinis 21:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, danntm, and Imban JoshuaZ 02:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all the above. NPOV and not notable. 6 books on Amazon.com ranking from 261thousandsths to 2.34millionsth. No sign of any independent reviews as required under WP:BIO. Not convinced he's notable as a journalist either. 278unique Ghits for "Victor Thorn" + IRS, mostly point to babel, federal observer, wingTV, and some blogs. Ohconfucius 01:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
