Please do not add non-notable information, such as you did to Matt Slick. If you believe it is actually notable, please discuss it on the article's discussion page. In this case, if you can provide evidence that Slick is a published poet, that would certainly go a long way. Thanks. --Yamla 21:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Martin Chretien
The article Martin Chretien has been deleted. In order to explain why, let me copy my post on another discussion board:
 * Well, Wikipedia has its standards, which the article obviously didn't meet. Not everything and everybody gets to have an article on Wikipedia; for example, should I create an article about myself, it would be deleted immediately upon discovery (on the grounds of our speedy deletion criteria). And Wikipedia's purpose is not to expose charlatans (let alone random Internet kooks), or to promote any point of view - it should state facts in a neutral way, and they are to be attributable to reliable sources. (For example: statement "Uri Geller is a fraud" doesn't belong to Wikipedia, but "Conjurers have been able to duplicate his claimed abilities" does.)
 * The bottom line is that the article consisted of little more than two posters mocking a non-notable crackpot. If you want to do it on your personal website, fine; but please don't use Wikipedia for this purpose.
