Previous holder of the fastest texter, now not notable as surpassed by Text messaging Bladeofgrass (talk) 21:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly not notable for anything that could not be covered in the aforementioned article. Martin Raybourne (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have no strong opinion on the notability of the subject, but would point out that if he was ever notable then he still is. Notability is based on the existence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Such sources don't unwrite themselves when someone else surpasses a subject's achievement. This is an encyclopedia, not the Guinness Book of Records. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:35, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I hear you (WP:NTEMP). Would you support a merge and a re-direct to Text messaging per WP:1E? Bladeofgrass (talk) 00:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I like the merge option presented above. It's a clear BLP1E, but as it's attracted so much attention it would be good to find a home somewhere. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:53, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
