Archived deletion debate: consensus was to keep

Is this insignificant paedophile really worthy an article in Wikipedia? To me, that's maybe a news item, but not encyclopedia material. (38 Googlits for +"Chris Denning" +paedophile) Delete. Lupo 12:13, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Perhaps not particularly noteworthy as a paedophile per se, but he's a former well-known DJ too. Lupin 12:31, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • looks like the guy was a BBC Radio 1 DJ as well, which makes him IMHO inclusion-worthy (not that I'd shed a tear if he fell foul of something nasty in Slovakis (sic)). I vote keep, provided someone rewrites the illiterate drivel initial contribution to something more readable. Ianb 15:30, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, provided someone does an NPOV rewrite. Gamaliel 19:37, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] POV statement about Slovakia?

After his release, Denning went to live in Slovakia, where the age of consent is fifteen.

Why is it relevant to mention Slovakia's age of consent here? It implies that Slovakia is some sort of seedy haven for men who lust after young boys. In fact, many countries have an age of consent of 15 or lower, and even in Denning's native Great Britain the age of consent is only one year older than this (i.e. 16). 217.155.20.163 19:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
