Ernest Over
The unusual case where the nominator is voting Keep. I added AfD because there is a reasonable case that it should be speedy deleted as non-notable, but while I think he's notable enough to keep, I think it should be voted on. --Nlu 06:36, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as this is tied to the issue of LGBT characters in the Star Trek universe. Perhaps some one might want to track Ernest Over down.
 * I saw this on CSD also. I think the article does assert his notability, so I removed the speedy tag. Whether or not he's notable enough to be kept is up to this AFD. I personally vote keep. Interesting, with some potential for more expansion. &middot; Katefan0(scribble) 06:53, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I would say keep, but the last sentence in the article stopped me cold. The article very much needs reliable citations or people (myself included) will wonder how much of this is true and how much is legend. Until then, DeleteVonspringer 07:28, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. The phrase "It is not know where he is or even if he is still alive." somewhat suggests non-notability. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 10:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable in my opinion. Stifle 11:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Definite Keep but add sources and please fix spelling errors, somebody. Logophile 13:21, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. His main claims to fame are (1) He was personal assistant to a notable person, (2) He wrote a press release, and (3) He was gay. None of these are particularly notable. &bull;DanMS 17:06, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Being gay is a claim to fame? Boy, I have some phone calls to make. --Calton | Talk 01:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak delete as unverifiable at this stage. I would change to keep if it was referenced, simply because it's interesting. Interesting makes it notable for me, but it may be a hoax. Ifnord 22:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Concur with DanMS. The BBC site does carry the story     Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  23:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. His fifteen minutes of fame (if that) were up a long time ago. --Calton | Talk 01:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if verified during the AFD process. Otherwise, nuke it. Jacqui ★ 15:04, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as per DanMS, material should be moved to some Star Trek article Pete.Hurd 02:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
