WP:NOT
Wikipedia is not a list of quotations, please make this article more encyclopedic and assert some notability, as arguably it could meet criterion for speedy deletion A7. Please resolve this issue ASAP. – Chacor 08:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The page should stick around, but if the quotes are too much, I just copied the content over to a wikiquote page. - Link. 81.98.104.69 12:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Facebook references
Is it really necessary for section about his facebook fan group? I'm very tempted to delete it.--Marhz 15:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Gone. I think editors have to be ruthless with this sort of thing, otherwise every entry will start having sections sourced from trivial social network sites. --Marhz 19:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

TOTALLY NOT NOTABLE
How does this guy even get a wikipedia entry? 85.158.139.99 (talk) 12:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Book
Why was Ben Dirs book deleted off of his entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MightyCannon (talk • contribs) 09:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Name
Is Ben Dirs a real person's name or some sort of pseudonym? It sounds a bit like "benders", which is English slang for a group of homosexual men - it's the sort of name you could imagine the BBC giving to a shared anonymous live text account as some sort of joke...86.163.170.187 (talk) 08:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The BBC is full of Ben Dirs!
