George Crayton, Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable individual. Sources in article are primary or passing, WP:BEFORE gives no hits in books or news. Awards list contains nothing of significance, UIKF organization is also non-notable. Fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MANOTE Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 10:37, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Aside from an impressive array of self-published and social media sources, the best I could come up with was this one, which seems to be a local online news source and does little to assist in establishing his notability. There is also this which simply mirrors Crayton's own biography. Additionally, the third paragraph is plagiarized from this site and a significant portion of the remaining text is closely paraphrased. No hits on GNEWS or GBOOKS.

 * Delete I found no significant independent coverage of him, so he fails WP:GNG. I also didn't see any indication he meets WP:MANOTE. Astudent0 (talk) 17:23, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I put this article up for PROD, so it's clear what I think of it. There's no independent support for any claims of notability. Mdtemp (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: User:Mdtemp's edit history consists entirely of spamming MMA related Afds with copy and paste boilerplate votes rather than arguments. The account has made no actual contributions to this website.  It is clearly a single-purpose, disruption-only account and a likely sock or meatpuppet.  --63.3.19.130 (talk) 01:42, 16 March 2012 (UTC) striking per Sockpuppet_investigations/63.3.19.129 Dennis Brown (talk) 00:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Editors are entitled to participate in any avenue of Wikipedia they choose. Your accusation of "biolerplate votes" is unfounded; I note has used varying rationales in AFD discussions. Your notes however, are boilerplates, and your persistence in adding them to every AFD that Mdtemp has participated in, is borderline disruptive and editor harassment.

 * Delete. The article appears to be plagiarised from the subject's autobiography. On a brief search, I have not found any reliable sources to support the subject's notability. Janggeom (talk) 08:55, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: Plagiarism is impossible when quoting a biography written by the person being accused of plagiarism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KungFuJosh (talk • contribs) 12:46, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Given that there's no evidence that both articles were written by the same person, yes, it's plagiarism. More precisely, it's a copyright violation - tagged for speedy deletion under G12 accordingly. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 12:52, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Source has now apparently been released under CC-BY-SA, so G12 no longer applies. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 15:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
