Craig Malisow

Article was originally speedied but I think it may have some notability although the writing is poor. I rather the community decide if this one passes WP:N.JodyByak, yak, yak 22:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Has Craig Malisow won any awards for his writing? (I sure hope he didn't write THAT!) or written for a national paper? --Malcolmxl5 22:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, since "He is famous and smart.", I suppose we'd better keep the article.... ROTFL. Delete - no (legitimate) claim of notability (unless you count "is a big-time reporter"). While we can verify that Mr. Malisow is a reporter, I haven't been able to find any valid WP:N reasons to keep. -- MarcoTolo 22:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

*Delete. Stating that someone is a "famous and smart" "big time reporter" does not make them notable - they have to have already been notable. He is not very famous and deleted! Bart133 (t) (c) 23:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - As I read the article I could not help laughing. "He is famous and smart," "Craig Malisow is a big-time reporter." Certainly does not appear notable per WP:BIO. So I believe we should delete this article and by aideu to this "famous and smart" "big-time" reporter. -- Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor  ( ταlκ )  23:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless notability can be established and article is cleaned up per comment below. Bart133 (t) (c) 23:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Be sure you look at the links. This guy was busted because his newspaper was doing a piece on internet drug sales. It may make the article notable if re-written. JodyByak, yak, yak 23:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I did look at the links - but unless I'm missing something, I'm still not convinced that the subject himself is notable (there may also be WP:BLP issues). If the DEA incident had significant ramifications beyond Mr. Malisow getting arrested, perhaps a citation in the Online pharmacy article makes sense? -- MarcoTolo 00:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Not notable. NHRHS2010  Talk  01:46, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this is not an acceptable stub. No prejudice against a re-creation of a real article. DGG (talk) 01:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * DeleteThough someone should probably move it to Uncyclopedia just for a laugh.Ravenmasterq 02:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Article looks like was written by a fan or something, or looks like an advert and poorly written as well. In addition, fails WP:BIO--JForget 16:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, Random Editor Person...when you wrote this: "So I believe we should delete this article and by aideu to this "famous and smart" "big-time" reporter," did you mean, "...and bid adieu..."? I have never heard the other phrasing/spelling. Maybe it means something that I don't know, and maybe I am misunderstanding, so if that is the case, then I apologize. I may be confused. As for the rest of the comments, I am sorry, I am probably not as good as a writer as all of you people. I guess I do not know how to write it better. Maybe a better writer could look at Craig's material, and write a better article about him? I know I do not do it justice. Sorry about that. This is my first-ever entry, and I am trying to make it acceptable. Thank you for all your help and patience and assistance and suggestions.SLOW93 20:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
