Corey Worthington

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

So here we are again. After the huge fuss over the last AfD that even led to media coverage of the actual AfD (which I believe was taken down from the newspaper's website), and a deletion debate over the actual AfD itself, and a deletion review that was endorsed, the protection has expired, and a user, in good faith, has created an article about this person again. Apart from having appeared on a few television programmes and supposedly hiring an agent to go into party promoting, what has changed since the last AfD? I don't see that a deletion review has taken place to allow for consensus for a recreation, either (last time the article title was Corey Delaney which now redirects here, as an alternative name). h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E, and let the drama begin.........-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't tell whether this would be applicable for WP:CSD since I'm not an admin and do not have access to the privilege of viewing deleted pages.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 18:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment not sure I can say keep, since I made the article, but I've added more things he's been offered, such as hosting the Big Brother TV series --AW (talk) 18:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-noteworthy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightscream (talk • contribs) 19:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Like it or not the main stream media keeps devoting time to this guy, see google news.  He is famous for being famous.  Wiki pages are devoted to people who died drinking water in an attempt to win a video game.  I agree, he doesn't deserve to be famous, so what, he is famous.  It might be better to call the page "The corey delaney incident", and revisit devoting a personal page a year from now if Mr Delaney's fame has legs. Geo8rge (talk) 20:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: Yawn. Nothing's changed since the last AfD except that he got a job. There's *less* attention to him now than before. He's little different than most teenagers that host a party without their parents knowledge, even if he does wear big glasses and make an ass of himself on TV. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Until now I managed to be totally unaware of this person, and I came to this AfD due to seeing the name in a blue link at Requested articles/Biographies (where almost all links are red). This guy has been the subject of numerous published articles by reliable secondary sources, so he meets the first criterion for notability. Although he is notable for only one event, reporting of the story of that one event and subsequent developments seems to be so widespread that many previously oblivious people (people like me) are likely to come to Wikipedia to try to find out who "Corey Worthington" is. Further, it is difficult to identify some other topical article where the story of that one event could reasonably be inserted, in place of a stand-alone article. Finally, the current article does not appear to violate WP:BLP standards. --Orlady (talk) 20:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Well referenced, decently written article about an apparently notable incident, and a person who is obviously attempting to transform his 15 minutes into a career. 206.246.160.29 (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
