 * Oppose because of his confrontational username, his old userbox, his constant bickering with the ARS (I'm not a member), and his long history of failing to follow WP:BEFORE item #4 in deletion debates. Just one example: earlier this month, SnottyWong nominated Robert Harper Clarkson, a 19th century Episcopal bishop, for deletion. I pointed out that the article already had an external link to sources, some of which seemed reliable.  He responded that they were primary sources - sermons and obituaries, and that Episcopal bishops weren't necessarily notable.  I pointed out that one of the obituaries was actually a fairly lengthy biographical profile written by notable newspaper editor George L. Miller, admittedly right after the bishop's death.  I expanded the article, and added three references, which were quite easy to find.  I then asked politely, on his talk page, if he would take another look at the article after I had tried to improve it.  I received no response.  I hope that this editor will mellow and mature, and perhaps be a good candidate for administrator in the future.  But not now.
