Adolf Hitler Campell

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Speedy got declined but I fail to see what's notable about a toddler with a ridiculous name. (It's Campbell, by the way. Not Campell.) Unfortunate name, yes. Daddy ought to get his head read, sure. But WP:N? No.    SIS    00:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The administrator who declined the speedy on this one gave me the impression he/she felt this was a borderline case (for speedy). Anyway, this falls under WP:BLP1E with the event covered in Yahoo news not even mentioned in the article. And yes, daddy should have his head checked. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This was a "weird news" item that, ultimately, was about how some parents were unable to get good service from the Shop Rite Supermarket near Greenwich, Pennsylvania, and they went to Wal-Mart instead. Mandsford (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Weird News, but WP:NOT indeed. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 01:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd add that I agree that it wouldn't qualify for a speedy; as nonsensical as Dad might be, the article itself isn't nonsense, hoax or copyvio. Mandsford (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete- poor kid. :( Still, having an unfortunate name does not confer notability. Reyk  YO!  01:16, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NOT, weird news items do not by themselves satisfy the criteria for inclusion. &mdash; neuro(talk) 01:40, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A7. Absolutely no assertion of importance or significance. Deor (talk) 01:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--though Keith Olbermann and Rachel Meadow are discussing it as we speak, this idiot father is not going to last like Joe the Plumber. BTW, what a poorly written article. Misspelling the name is the worst of it, sure (seriously, how could you?), but I wish more authors would stop shooting from the hip. Drmies (talk) 02:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete No lasting notability. If kept WP might be seen as contributing to the parents' abuse.Redddogg (talk) 02:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * delete WP:NOTNEWS/WP:BLP1E. Almost textbook example. Do not speedy since it does not meet any speedy deletion criteria. Claims that it is A7 are inaccurate given that the incident at ShopRite made national news. JoshuaZ (talk) 03:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The ShopRite incident is, nonetheless, not an assertion of significance for this person. A mention in "national news" is not necessarily an indication of "why its subject is important or significant" per CSD A7. Deor (talk) 04:40, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This person's name was the cause of multiple national news stories. That's an assertion of importance. It is a really weak one but it is there. JoshuaZ (talk) 05:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per Ryek, Drmies, Redddogg. Jayjg (talk) 03:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — I know! I'll make my son notable by calling him George Wallace Johnson! Or better yet, George Bush Hamilton! MuZemike  ( talk ) 03:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Now I see what it was that made George Washington Carver famous. It was just the name... --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 04:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy, snowball delete, per the reasons above. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 08:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It certainly doesn't warrant an article on its own because the kid didn't do anything yet, but the media attention might mean that inclusion in List of unusual personal names would be a good idea. - Mgm|(talk) 09:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete NN person who just happens to have a offensive name. Just about anytime a parent decides to ruin their kids life by giving them a bad name it gets mentioned by a newspaper, doesn't make it notable though.  TJ   Spyke   17:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although this was covered by news outlets, there is no indication that any sort of lasting notability is likely to occur. Probable WP:BLP issues with some of the statements made here, too. If this blows up into some sort of national controversy, then the article can be recreated at a later date. For now, let it go. 23skidoo (talk) 17:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete, fails WP:SNOW, WP:N and WP:NOT. The Rolling Camel (talk) 17:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. As much as this name is unusual, there is no lasting notability.  As the old saying goes, 'Every dog has its days'.  Also the name is misspelled. -MrBiggles42 (talk) 18:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is no lasting notability.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  18:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge Perhaps a mention of the supermarket story about refusing to decorate the cake could be inserted in Adolf Hitler in popular culture or someplace.  Linguist At Large  20:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
