[edit] Robert Smith?
not notable person. originally I just redirected it to Doctor Who Ratings Guide but that has been VFD'd so best to VFD "Robert Smith?" also. TimPope 05:58, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- If he's got a PhD in math, he might be notable for other reasons, but since notability is not asserted and this would not be useful as a redirect, Delete. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 06:25, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless notability beyond editing a website can be established. 23skidoo 15:21, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Someone with a PhD edits a website. So? Average Earthman 16:22, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete NN. Most of my friends have PhD's and they don't pass the bar either. --Etacar11 21:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Notability is not a VfD criterion. Ketsuban (is 1337) 21:41, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Actually it is, but it is buried a level down in the guidelines. On the VfD page "Is not suitable for Wikipedia (see WP:NOT)" is a criterion. On the WP:NOT page it says "Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of notoriety or achievement". You'll find that under the heading Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base (item 6).Tobycat 00:07, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Or, all one needs to do is look at the "-pedia" part of "wikipedia" and realize that encyclopedias do not include every fact or factoid in existence. And by the way delete. -R. fiend 06:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
