Problems relating to WP:BIO and WP:RS. A non-notable individual in his own right (at least by Wikipedia editorial requirements), with BLP issues relating to a non-confirmed relationship with a prominent broadcaster. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 02:01, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Benjamin Maisani is Anderson Cooper's boyfriend and a very prominent individual in Greenwich Village. He owns a gay bar. I believe he is important and should have an article. Mr. Boomabang (talk) 02:06, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Mr. Boomabang appears to be single purpose account. Cullen328 (talk) 06:18, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Mr Boomabang has now been blocked for abusing multiple accounts. Dayewalker (talk) 05:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Owning a bar is not a valid claim to notability on Wikipedia. Being the alleged boyfriend of a notable person is not a claim to notability.  Being mentioned in gossip blogs is not a claim of notability.  This biography of a living person is unreferenced, and I was unable to find any reliable sources that discuss this person in depth.

 * Delete No evidence of notability other than an unsourced claim of a relationship with a famous person. Dayewalker (talk) 03:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BLP and WP:RS. The article is unsourced and doesn't even contain the person's alleged claim to notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:13, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per reasons above. Couldn't have said it better --Ebyabe (talk) 16:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete BLP/RS/N, per above. OSbornarfcontribs. 20:04, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. There is inklings that Maisani is notable on his own for his nightclubs, one is in the world's best hotel (according to Conde Nast). But as a NYC Club/venue owner he undoubtably has/will have articles about him soon. Here are two but they are more about his club's grand opening.Trekhippie (talk) 11:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
