A disputed prod. This article is, to put it bluntly, bullshit. UsaSatsui 20:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've tried to trace the references in the article and only come up with this, which indicates he came in third (not the winner, as stated) and was attending William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey (not stated in the article).  I can't verify any of the other examples.  Zero hits on the band/the albums.  The comedy festival exists but I doubt he came in second.  The film school's page of notable alumni doesn't mention his name, nor does the site.  If this gets deleted, I'll make a note to delete his link in the New York film school's article.

 * Delete per above. STORMTRACKER   94  20:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication his films/videos are notable, and that plus some local awards do not add up to meeting Notability (people) (Creative professional). &mdash;dgies tc 20:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 21:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per the nomination, just more bullshit on Wikipedia waiting to be... dumped.  Bur nt sau ce  22:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, should have been speedied, although "awesome at being great" is a claim of notability, I guess ... Corvus cornix 23:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "He is the winner of multiple local New Jersey film awards and Comedy Awards." - A vague but potentially valid claim to notability. &mdash;dgies tc 05:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I went to his "official site" on MySpace, which contradicts this article in the sense that it doesn't mention his putative attendance or graduation from the New York Film Academy, which I have to assume is bogus. (Or he was somehow attending community college in Paramus at the same time.)  The only comedy award I found is noted above and he seems to vary from first to second to third (to be truthful, I may have misread what he claimed) -- but it's for student comedians.  The film awards are, yes, "local New Jersey film awards".  The William Paterson Film Festival was at his (true) alma mater, therefore student film.  The Passaic County Film Festival exists -- at the county level, and I couldn't find any winners' names.  The Rutgers International Film Festival doesn't seem to exist under that precise name, although there are Rutgers' associated film festivals under which I couldn't find this individual's name.  And the Urban Diversity Film Festival, which has been in existence since March 2007, hasn't bothered to post the names of any winners of its awards on its website, so who knows?  This is all essentially student film.  Probably amusing and well-done student film, but lending its creator no more notability than the average YouTube entry.  I hope this answers any questions you may have had about his potential notability due to "local New Jersey film awards and comedy awards".  If we have conflicting reports of something so basic as where he went to school, what can we believe?  Accounting4Taste 05:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You honestly think I called this bullshit for nothing? Just looking at this article for 2 minutes, you can tell it's 90% lies.--UsaSatsui 16:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * And to fully frost the cake, someone with the same username as this individual's MySpace nick has removed the AfD tag twice in the last half hour. I'm now recommending SALT. Accounting4Taste 05:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Second that. Please SALT.  Bur nt sau ce  20:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey guys, sorry about the earlier failure to use the 'speedy deletion' thing properly, I've never done it before. Seems like it brought this egotistical nonsense to your attention, however, so I still consider it successful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.147.98 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 3 October 2007
 * Delete but not salted, per nom, and as violating WP:AUTO, WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:N. Bearian&#39;sBooties 17:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
