[edit] Zach

This page was created by a vandal as a joke. Then another vandal blanked it. This should be an imidiate delete. Tobyk777 07:33, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• This isn't a joke. The New York Times did a story on this Tennessee teenager who was forced by his parents to attend a camp to cure his homosexuality. For this reason, it shouldn't be speedied. However, there are concerns about privacy given that it identifies the guy's personal journal and would obviously allow him to be identified. I suspect that this is the reason that the article has been blanked. I don't think that the notability of Zach outweighs privacy concerns so Delete. Capitalistroadster 08:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Ex-gay, which covers the Zach "controversy" in great detail (I don't think privacy is an issue here). -- JJay 08:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, the redirect doesn't sound like it'd be very useful. --Agamemnon2 09:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• It helps prevent rebirth of the same page and steers people to info on Zach. -- JJay 09:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect per User:JJay. Durova 10:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - "Zach" is a bad title for this, as most first names are disambiguation pages (see Fred for a model). At best this should be one entry in a dab page on the name, with a link to Ex-gay per above. (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, then turn into a disambig. --Apostrophe 03:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pope ZachariasDelete and create {{disambig}} page of fellows whose first name is "Zach"/"Zack". — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 11:49, Dec. 27, 2005
