Callum Baillie

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete Vanity page, fails WP:MUSIC. Is the subject of one regional newspaper article about a radio station competition for young writers in which he was one of dozens of winners. Fails general notability. sassf (talk) 10:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Page history - Has only been edited by the subject of the article. Was then tagged with CSD but the creator tagged with hangon, then another registered user (who only has two edits, both to the Callum Baillie page) removed the Speedy tag.sassf (talk) 10:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Further comment - please see the history of this afd page - improper deletion of the page attempted. sassf (talk) 15:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. Vanity article contributed by "Ego-defence-mechanic", a very mature contributor who refers to other editors as "poo head" . WWGB (talk) 01:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Correction In response to the above comment: I believe I used a hyphen in 'poo-head' Ego-defence-mechanic (talk) 06:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy does not appear to belong on main space, but editor can make it his main userpage. travb (talk) 11:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Sounds fair enough, if that's what the user actually wants. He hasn't put a case here at all for some reason.  The article and photo are certainly better suited to a user page.  One little caveat is that the user would need to realise he can't put links to the page in mainspace articles (such as the Armidale one). sassf (talk) 13:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a million Sassf, the links need to be removed. I'm not singling anyone out, but, the editor had one edit before he created Callum Baillie. He/She has now been welcomed by the " FUCK YOU, Your Contributions Aren't Worth Jack Shit Committee ", the same committee that hundreds of new editors are welcomed by every single day. The welcome committee is comprised of the self-appointed guardians of wikipedia's reputation, who ironically, sully wikipedia's reptuation by making a lot of people mad and turn away a lot of possibly really good editors and talent.
 * Yes, everybody agrees: Callum Baillie doesn't belong on main space, but why don't we simply move it to his userspace without creating all of this negative emotion and drama?
 * Is it any wonder that the media on wikipedia deletions have been universally negative? I don't know of a single media article which praises our deletion process. Nicholson Baker of the New York Review of Books wrote of the Wikipedia deletion editors: "Your words are polite, yeah, but your actions are obscene." travb (talk) 05:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, calm down there, bud. You're not making this place any friendlier by attacking fellow editors. Themfromspace (talk) 05:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyone here is welcome to remove the above section, if they wish.travb (talk) 05:53, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - clear self-promotion. Deb (talk) 14:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Am I famous yet? With all this shameless self-promotion, have I risen to the ranks of 'notable' yet? Ego-defence-mechanic (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
