Bo Taylor

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Tag claimed "No adequate source of information, probably self-written", which seems like a good prod reason, but given the assertion of note, isn't a speedy. -Splash - tk 23:47, 7 April 2007 (UTC)''
 * Delete appears to be a non-notable performer. Probably is speedy, actually. Not all assertions of notability are valid.--Anthony.bradbury 00:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If he has appeared on TV and in Playgirl for 30 years (and I'm not claiming he necessarily has), then it's not a speedy in my opinion. Splash - tk 00:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; only "reference" is imdb which points to Peter Lukic, with the only acting credit being "FBI agent #8". The only two "Bo Taylor"s in imdb are non, notable (one played himself in a documentary and the other is a lighting technician in a 1974 film).  &mdash; User: (talk) 00:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * STRONG Delete This article was previously deleted. The original article was even more of a fantasy than this one (in which he claimed to be an Academy Award-winning actor, among other things) but this one still has a lot of unsourced and very unlikely claims, like "owns his own broadcasting company." The creator of the previous article was BoTaylor456, who also created a series of other related hoax pages, which I prod-ed. He was also blocked twice for constantly uploading pictures without the appropriate copyright procedures. See WP:ANI on BoTaylor456 or my user contributions for more details. (Note that apparently he also makes a lot of edits under anonymous IP addresses.) --Proofreader J-Man 02:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * delete as obvious NN. However, any assertion of N, self-asserted or not, must be checked by AfD, and does not fall within the domain of speedy. Speedy is only for unquestionably non-notable subjects. DGG 05:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete -- we seem to be arguing about whether or not this article fits the exact wording of whatever it says in the current revision of WP:CSD, not about whether or not we should have this article. If we really need to find the right rule to apply, now about speedy-ing it as a recreation of deleted content, assuming that is still a criteria?  Jkelly 19:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The criterion only applies to articles previously deleted as the result of WP:AFD that are substantially identical to the deleted version. Since the previous deletes were speedy, this criterion does not apply. &mdash; User: (talk) 23:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Oh, yes, you're right. My mistake.  Jkelly 17:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Note also that "vandalism" is a criterion, but all suspected hoaxes do not qualify. &mdash; User: (talk) 19:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Note that the article has recently been completely replaced by its present version. The nominated version, if that's of interest is here. Splash - tk 22:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
