Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Steven wallace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An article some high school student created about himself. Probably thinks it'll get him laid or something. Isn't that why high school students do anything? ;-) Isomorphic 22:12, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Is it just me, or is there something creepy about that kid's eyebrows? Delete vanity. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:30, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, it's just you. This is an informative page about a great individual (not me) and I don't understand why anyone would want to delete it. Unless you delete it now once our revolution hits you will be able to proudly say that this was the first encyclopedia to feature this influencial person! --DevilsAdvocate 23:17, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- When he does something that people outside his immediate social circle consider noteworthy, Wikipedia—which, unlike traditional encyclopedias, is updated by the minute—will probably be the first to have an article on him. However, since he's currently a nobody high-school student. . .
- Actually, his eyebrows are in the feminine position. It's not a hard-and-fast rule, since there are frequent exceptions, but women's eyebrows are more likely to arch laterally, while men's eyebrows are more likely to follow the brow line. In other words, his eyebrows are arched funny for a guy. Must be the poop he's been eating -- and he's trying to make us eat it. jaknouse 00:01, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- They only look that way because his head is tilted up. Everyone's eyebrows look that way if you look at them from that angle unless they have a flat face and I don't think many guys do. Either way, freaky eyebrows are not grounds for deleting his informative and encyclopedia-worthy page.--DevilsAdvocate 00:51, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Some kid. Maximus Rex 00:42, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm glad Maxiums Rex put that first period in there, I'd hate to think about deleting the kid. :) RickK | Talk 01:56, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Not especially informative. Definitely not encyclopedia-worthy. Vanity. Discussion here by author lends credence to its one claim: "one of the worst comedians of our time". Fennec 04:37, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Alternatively, move to user page. - Fennec 05:11, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Some kid. Ambivalenthysteria 04:47, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Cribcage 04:53, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, and the silly picture. If this kid was as important as he says he would, someone else would surely have heard about it. Dysprosia 07:07, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, what I like most about this page is, He think's he's too cool for school, We'll I've got a news flash for you Walter Cronkite, You aren't. He hasn't listed any accomplishments, maybe just maybe if he ran a popular website, or wrote a number of published books or is even just a local politician say, the mayor of his town that might merit a page, but this is just some guy who think's he so smart that he needs to write such an article glorifiying himself and then he even dares to insert an photograph? (not to mention the fact that he hasn't done anything good or against society in a even moderately substantial way). A real person or not, (think about it, it might be absolutely entirely fictional although doubtful) this one is not for the wikipedia... --JessPKC 07:14, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, not only is the DevilsAdvocate user suspicious, but his suggestion that we should keep him merely because he WILL be famous still does not award merit to whoever this is. Because I believe I will never hear about this person for the rest of my life ever again. --JessPKC 07:25, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Could maybe subsitute an article on Steven Wallace, capital W, who was shot by the NZ Police for behaving very badly in public. It was/is quite a notorious case, he seems to be more notable than this version and probably more interesting. ping 07:52, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. But I do not understand the level of hostility expressed by other commentators. It's enough to say it's a vanity page and there's no evidence he is notable. Why is a high school student's vanity page any worse than any else's? Dpbsmith 20:57, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- For the record, I was being flippant, not hostile. -- Cyrius|✎ 07:33, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
- I don't feel that I was being hostile, I wrote that in mostly a humourous aire. I thought it was rather funny not just the article itself (not the jokes just the way it was presented) but the way it was defended by its author. User:JessPKC --209.226.138.129 08:18, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Move to BJAODN, both the original and the (presently) vandalized version. Philwelch 15:10, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete even though the vandalized version is priceless! Lucky 6.9 04:00, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
