If you would like to help me write some history of the treatment of Blacks in the Ohio history section, feel free. I started to add some info. --Margrave1206 (talk) 00:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Michael Viscardi
Concerning your AfD nomination, I wrote:


 * DEFINITELY Keep "Sheer number of people who have the same level of accomplishment"?? Has the nominator already forgotten all the headlines about Michael Viscardi from two or three years ago?  All the TV news programs, all the articles in places like Newsweek and the New York Times?  The nominator should explain with complete specificity the evidence that he created this article himself.  I looked at the edit history.  I don't see it.

I would like to see that evidence. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

...and now I see that Michael Viscardi has an Erdős number of 3. Do you realize you've nominated for deletion the article about a person whose Erdős number is 3? Look at List of people by Erdős number, scroll down to "3", and count the blue links and red links in the list. Should this be a red link? If there were no article about him, someone would have to request one. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

And my rather late reply(which can be found on Michael Viscardi's talk page)

I was the one who nominated this article for deletion some time ago, but I didn't stick around for the discussion. As a result, I won't nominate it again. However, in defense of my nomination, I went to Harvard, and I'm still pretty convinced Michael Viscardi doesn't deserve his own Wiki page. If so, I'll pull a couple of my classmates' names out of a hat and start vomiting up articles for them too, as many of them also won competitive scholarships and have been mentioned in various publications of notoriety. Hell, I've been named in a few papers myself. Furthermore, all the provided links on the deletion talk page refer to write-ups about the winners of the prize, not about Michael Viscardi alone. In fact, USA Today regularly announces the winner of the Siemens Competition and lists the names of all semifinalists. I'm not finding any of them on Wikipedia. The Erdos number argument is also ridiculous. Cami Solomon (talk) 05:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Cami Solomon
