Mr. Smith is barely notable and few sources can be found on him. In his article, his personal website (that, truthfully, is not a great source of information, not to mention that personal websites are not good sources.) is used as the main source of information and apart from a student newspaper, sources are not readily available for this article.

 * Either keep or merge into The Brick Testament. "Barely notable" is like "a little bit pregnant." You either are or you aren't. The article's far from a gem, and there's surely a problem with WP:RS, but that's better resolved by other means than AFD in my mind. Don't fall asleep  zzzzzz 06:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I understand about notability, and he's more "not" notable then he is. While he's got a bit going for him, very few sources can be found... when there is a lack of sources to use it leads you to believe that the subject must not be notable. I would suggest merging per the Wikipedia One Event policy. He does have something, but its more his project then him. The project its self is not covered by many sources but is notable.

 * I'm not sure if WP:ONEEVENT applies, unless you're also looking to AFD Vendetta: A Christmas Story for lack of notability. Don't fall asleep  zzzzzz 17:27, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, I had missed that... to tell the truth a search shows that even Vendetta: A Christmas Story is (truthfully) non-notable. I hate to say it, but besides an IMDB page, there is not many sources on it... I don't mean to slam this guy, but apart from the Brick Testament, his notability looks mighty low. Brendan's got a nice PR team going for him, but apart from him and his friends... not much. CindyAbout /T/P/C/ 20:28, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to failure to comply with the verifiability policy, as evidenced by the absence of citations from reliable sources. Stifle (talk) 09:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
