Frank Schilling

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

First AFD nomination. This guy isn't encyclopedic at all. His article fails to show why he needs or deserves an article. It's just plain unencyclopedic. Wikipedia isn't a junkyard. Delete GreenJoe 19:12, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This man doesn't seem to be encyclopedic it all -- and that picture's a pretty lousy Photoshopping, I might add. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per FrozenPurpleCube. Article needs some polishing tho. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Suggested. Picture is untouched (not shopped) Guy helped define industry which itself is still defining the net. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nameboy (talk • contribs)
 * Keep since CNN says "In this case, that's Frank Schilling, a reclusive man who has quietly become one of the world's most powerful and respected domainers." and while I think that it's a bit silly, if a CNN article says you're one of the world's most powerful anythings, I'll concede you may meet notability criteria.

 * Weak Delete, wealthy domain name squatter, but wealth/success does not equal notability. Lankiveil 02:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC).

 * Keep notable enough per FrozenPurpleCube (similar reasoning appears to have prevented consensus for deletion here). Needs cleaning up; some time ago I removed some unsourced or unlikely statements, but they just keep coming back...(example: "Frank Schilling coined the term 'domain investor' during a Tech TV interview with Matt Markovich in 2002". The domain name "DomainInvestor.com" itself was first registered in 1999, clearly establishing that the term was NOT coined by this gentleman in 2002). ReidarM 07:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
