Dr. Alex North

 * — (View AfD)

Delete article on minor soap opera character not worthy of its own article. Because article is unsourced and was created by User:Fatone411, a confirmed sockpuppet of vandal User:EJBanks, what little content the article has is unreliable. Given EJBanks's history of creating redundant articles, the character may already be covered by some other article anyway. Might redirect to Wayne Northrop, the actor who played the part. Might redirect to Days of our Lives, the program in which the character formerly appeared. Doczilla 03:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not a speedy G5, as the user involved has not been subject to a ban. MER-C 11:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually the user Fatone411 and the user's sockpuppet Poker Master have been banned indefinitely. Wryspy 09:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment I object to this nomination being an indictment of the author rather than a discussion of the notability of the subject. The nominator also speculates that the subject is covered elsewhere; speculation is irrelevant to AfD.  I suggest that this nomination be rejected and reposted without the prejudicial allegations.  Is the subject notable and can we find source material?  Those are the pertinent issues, the rest is not relevant and confuses the issue.  --Kevin Murray 15:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and properly resubmit for AfD. --Kevin Murray 15:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge properly sourced statements into other articles, then delete. Xiner (talk, email) 19:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The article has no properly sourced statements. Doczilla 10:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, and bringing up the article's status as having been created by a sock of a banned user is relevant, although not necessarily (in my opinion) an automatic reason to delete.-- Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 20:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Right. The information is relevant but not an automatic reason to delete. Even a banned user could have done something right once upon a time. But, as I already said, because the information is unsourced and from an unreliable user, we can't trust it. Were it sourced, I would not have said that. Doczilla 10:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks sources, so the information in the article might not be correct. Since it's such a small article, and it would be so easy to keep relevant info on the Alex North character in the articles on Wayne Northrop or Days of our Lives, it's hard to see the benefit of keeping it.
