Alan Bateman
If you are really Alan Bateman--I looked at the website, and I can see how this could be embarrassing, what with all the rather hollow political namecalling and rhetoric--cap and traitor, climate gate, fearmongering about socialism, that sort of stuff. I think that if you wish to shed that political profile, you should begin by pulling down that website. Anyway, the article Alan Bateman, that is a different matter, and you have more power with your webprovider for your website than on Wikipedia. I saw the attempt at deletion and undid it; it was not formatted properly. If you wish to nominate it for deletion, you can follow the steps in Afd, and I'll be glad to help you with that. Whether it will be deleted is the question--notability is not a function of time, and if the subject was notable in 2010, he is notable now. Let me know if I can help.

I am really Alan Bateman and am in the process of removing {www.batemanforcongress.com/ the website} for the same reasons I stated in my removal comment which I just posted. The campaign website should be down within the next day or two. I made some edits to the page to show my independent party affiliation and removed reference to my family. Please note that I am trying to manage my on-line presence as I move out of the "public" spotlight. I'll add my email to my profile if you wish to converse privately for more information. aldandrew 26 January 2011
 * Aldandrew, as you saw I put the article up for deletion. Other politicians have found this painful, but in your case I guess you'll be pleased to know that you stand a good chance of being deleted (I never thought I'd say this!). The discussion is at Articles for deletion/Alan Bateman--if I were you, I'd look at it but not edit there; there is nothing you can do that will help one way or the other. What it boils down to is this: if editors deem the subject notable, it stays. Whatever you want is immaterial (that's not me saying that--it is immaterial)--the subject is public property, so to speak, and your involvement could serve to antagonize people. So let it run; I think it should be OK. Now, next time you run for office, could you get us a functioning transportation system? I just discovered that Amtrak on a cross-country train ride of 800 miles averages 25 miles per hour. The Chinese would to it in 5 hours, no more. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 05:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
