Ashwin Betrabet

 * — (View AfD)

A person who appeared very briefly in the Borat movie; prod removed by anonymous user. Note that this was created and is being edited by one of the perpetrators of the Hari Ananth, so expect sockpuppetry here as well. JuJube 06:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * JuJube has yet to substantiate his/her claims that Ashwin Betrabet and Hari Ananth are illegitimate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madndndrumr711 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment Actually according to Wikipedia policy you are the one who has to prove they are legitimate, something you have royally failed to do, and your continued disruption is not helping matters. JuJube 06:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as lacking verification. Two sources appear to be given; one is for somebody else, the other is (oh dear) MySpace. -- Hoary 06:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep You stated that one source is for "somebody else." That "somebody else" happens to be Ali G, who, as stated, interviewed a former ambassador also by the name of Ashwin Betrabet. ...One of three edits placed simultaneously and anonymously in this pair of edits by this IP
 * Delete IMDB claims that the antique store owner was played by Larry Walker. And I also don't think that Borat is such an enduring classic that a minor supporting role makes you notable. Brianyoumans 06:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep You may not think that Borat is an "enduring classic"... however, your opinion should not influence the status of this page. Furthermore, Larry Walker may have been a stage name given to Ashwin Betrabet, which is his real name. ...One of three edits placed simultaneously and anonymously in this pair of edits by this IP
 * Delete and salt the earth Betrabet does not appear on the Ambassadorial lists for the United States to India nor for India to the United States.  I suspect that everything else on the page is just as imaginary as the faux ambassador is.  This article is being used to vandalize Ali G articles, and needs to be salted so it won't be recreated.

 * Delete per above. MER-C 12:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above - if the name of the person is correct - so what? Every minor part in a film does not need a seperate article. --Charlesknight 13:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Why not? Everyone is equal, and should therefore have equal rights to having a page in Wikipedia. ...One of three edits placed simultaneously and anonymously in this pair of edits by this IP
 * Delete per above, even if this article's claims are true notability is suspect. User:Madndndrumr is missing the point. Venicemenace 18:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: Madndndrumr711, the creator of the article, is a vandal who was blocked for, among other things, vandalizing Borat-centric articles.  Frankly, this article should be speedily deleted as nonsense.  Wittyname 19:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable enough for Wikipedia. utcursch | talk 12:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
