Chris McElroy

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

(Note: This AfD was placed by an IP who didn't give a rationale: in DumbBOT's attempts to fix that, an AfD discussion was formed with only TheGiftedOne's comments below. In order for this to appear like a semi-normal AfD, I am placing a rationale.) Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable biography page, contains four links to pages the subject has created. Google turns up millions of Chris McElroys but not this one. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This page absolutely DOES conform to Wikipedia's standards on biographies of living persons. Chris McElroy is a person of note based on his philanthropic contributions as well as his extremely large involvement in the development of the INTERNET.  There are literally THOUSANDS of references to his participation in the structure of ICANN, as well as the overall structure of the web itself. Making him a person of note, and a semi celebrity in some circles. TheGiftedOne (talk) 11:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Umm.... why did you create an AfD page if you want the article kept? Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The user appears to be replying to an accusation made on the article's talk page, although why he chose to do so by initiating an AfD is beyond me...... ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks to me as though user 65.189.129.166 began the AfD without completing it - TheGiftedOne's response has taken the place that a deletion rationale would normally occupy, had one been provided (perhaps thanks to DumbBOT's efforts to complete the AfD?). --Paularblaster (talk) 14:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Should I close this as a pointless AfD then, or keep it open in case someone else (like me) thinks the article needs deletion? Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If you think it needs it, edit in a rationale at the top. --Paularblaster (talk) 14:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete No independant coverage. Epbr123 (talk) 15:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing found about anything relating to this person. NameCritic does show up in a few searches but that alone does not constitute notability.  spryde |  talk  16:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
