[edit] Vincent Ferrari

Non-notable blogger, possible vanity (author hasn't contributed a great deal except this article). He had some trouble cancelling an AOL subscription, recorded the conversation and made a post about it on his blog, gaining some limited media attention. Members of the public get interviewed on TV all the time and we don't give them articles. There's a paragraph in the AOL article that mentions the episode, and that's probably justified, but he certainly isn't notable enough for an article. There is nothing interesting to be said beyond what's in the AOL article. Delete. Rhomboid Man 19:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. This is highly relevant to the American business world. Ferrari has stirred up widespread controversy over such phone practices as AOL's (Houston Chronicle, July 21). Whether or not this article is kept separate, the content needs to stay somewhere on Wikipedia. Bperry7 12:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is an important event and needs to be kept on the site. This article could be rewritten or merged into a main article about AOL's customer service practices. --65.0.101.45 22:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with AOL. This has received wide coverage but the importance is what the incident says about AOL's policies, not Mr. Ferrari. Mackensen (talk) 22:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep For crying out loud, this made INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION. If this isn't notable, nothing on Wikipedia is. Alyeska 03:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
