Alvin Joseph Michael Reed
An article on an Eagle Scout. Sole claim to notability is that he was listed twice in the Who's Who Among American High School Students. silsor 22:37, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Dbiv 22:38, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 23:11, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * I was going to list this as a copyvio, but it'd already been done - and the article's creator admitted to writing the link cited in the article, too. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 01:06, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm 100% sure we VfDed him before, although it might have been under a slightly different name. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  00:51, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Is this the one? silsor 00:54, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep. Hmm, that's odd, it's two different guys but very similar article styles. Different IP addresses for the editors, but VERY close.  Something fishy's going on there. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  16:57, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not really fishy, they were both contributed by User:Sistertina. silsor 17:14, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 02:08, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. - Mailer Diablo 03:10, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for non-notability. Tuf-Kat 03:17, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I was in the Who's Who Among American High School Students. DCEdwards1966 04:04, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * So... did you pay Marquis to get a copy of the book? I'm dying to know. Macho man 18:52, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete for non-notability. Maybe in the future, but not now. And I wouldn't call it vanity, since it appears to be part of an obsessive campaign by Sistertina to promote the notability of him and a similiar fellow named Finis White. See Eagle Scout and its Talk page for more. I wouldn't blame either of them, because I suspect that neither knows about it. --Calton 01:06, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Based on the fact that User:Sistertina said both are members of her troop, and her and this scout share a last name, its almost certainly a matter of a mother trying to get her son and his friend listed. --Sillydragon 03:01, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
