[edit] Wirt Walker

Wirt Walker (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Private businessman with extremely few reliable sources, questionable notability. Most material found online is from conspiracy websites. Dhartung | Talk 04:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. This gentleman is in business with a member of the Bush family. Other than this connection, he would not be written about at all. The 9/11 conspiracy crowd makes much of the fact that he has the same last name as the Walker family (as in George Walker Bush, etc.), but they are not actually related. It is nigh impossible to write a balanced article because non-conspiracy sources have paid him very little attention other than brief asides. The article as it stands is written from primary sources, with no demonstrated notability. I think it's best to put this article out of its misery. --Dhartung | Talk 04:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep, but find more sources. --Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? 16:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
    Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? (talk · contribs) just opined "strong keep" in 27 AFD discussions over a period of 35 minutes, several times with clearly disruptive rationales. Uncle G 16:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no sources/notability. Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 18:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep Since he has the business connection mentioned, he will appear in news sources, and thus be worth an article. One of his companies, Securacom, is certainly notable in this connection. But if so, there should be some sources already, and they need to be added. A Yahoo profile is not an independent source.DGG 00:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Erm, DDG, with due respect, if you want this article kept, it's dependent on you to provide the independent sources. You cant just say "I'm sure they exist". --RaiderAspect 04:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
