David Pearce
The David Pearce page looks like a low-key vanity page to me that must have slipped through when it was first created. David Pearce is the webmaster of BLTC, the hedonistic imperative website. I like the website and support this guy's views, but I hardly think he's notable enough to be listed in wikipedia, unless you want to start listing anyone and everyone who owns a website. The fact that his website is listed too suggests a vanity thing going. I'm not saying this guy can't be notable, maybe in ten years or so he will be, but I don't think he's notable enough now to be listed here, and I don't think his website is notable enough to be included either.

 * Delete. There seems to be an author or two by that name, and a MO House Rep (and less notable professor and businessman), but I don't think any are the guy at www.hedweb.com. Niteowlneils 03:39, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. His site might possibly be notable, but he doesn't seem to be. -- Cyrius|&#9998 05:29, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: nonnotable, personal promotion. He has a nice smile though. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:57, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. I wrote the article. Pearce is notable enough to have been the subject of at least three printed interviews (one of them published in SonntagsZeitung, a mass circulation Swiss newspaper) and several articles. This is not merely a guy who happens to run a website, but one who has gained some notoriety by doing so. Sir Paul 01:11, May 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looks legitimate, disk space is cheap, and his picture totally made my day. -- Wikisux 18:15, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
