Daniel Padín

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

The article has serious notability issues as it stands, with no real assertion of notability other than "is widely recognized as a pioneer and advocate of supporting university student life and an avid curler", for which no source or citation is given. Searches through Google reveal some results, most relating to the university he attended and our own website, but the great majority referring to other persons sharing his name. The article was far worse previously, most information either hoaxes or original research. I believe the subject is not notable, and therefore the article warrants deletion.

See previous state and changes made by me and another editor, and rationales for removing text. Mtmelendez (Talk) 20:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this article has been entirely developed by two editors:, who put in the claims about $250 million and Pamela Anderson, and who contributed the bits about being a trained neurosurgeon and inventing Iams dog superfood. Since each of them contributed obvious rubbish, nothing in the article can be trusted, and it should go. If there is a real Daniel Padín and he is notable, maybe a sensible editor can one day create an article about him. JohnCD (talk) 21:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable person. Probably a hoax or at least an embellishment.  Jmlk  1  7  21:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. As it stood before much of the content was removed it was full of what were quite clearly bogus claims including that he somehow managed to perform medical procedures when he was 5 years old and that he managed to create IAMS dog food some 30-40 years before he was born. Doubt has to remain about any of the content that remains in the article given that it was added by the above mentioned editors who added all the content that has now been removed. It should also be noted that an IP user has now started throwing insults (which I have removed) on the talk page. ♦Tangerines♦ · Talk 00:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
