Frank Schilling
Vanity, unencyclopedic. Delete Ardenn 05:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Are a patent application and a soundbite enough to claim notable status? I don't think so but I am open to being persuaded otherwise.   (aeropagitica)   07:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Mentioned in in Business 2.0 (Dec. 2005).  They say he's notable for redirecting his site (Factcheck.com) to GeorgeSoros.com during the Cheney/Edwards debate when Cheney said "Factcheck.com" when he meant to say "Factcheck.org." Crypticfirefly 07:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Crypticfirefly. I remember that event; ephemeral notability is still notability in this case. Adrian Lamo ·  (talk)  · (mail) · 21:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. That event wouldn't be worth its own article, maybe a mention on an article about the debate.  There have been millions of patent applications; even having an issued patent isn't necessarily enough to be worth an encyclopedia article.  It would depend on the patent.

 * This should probably be a Merge, but I'm not really sure where it should go. Sorry; suggestions are welcome. -Colin Kimbrell 22:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Crypticfirefly. Monicasdude 18:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
