Renominating this for deletion. Any real notability comes from the video he created (which doesn't have an article). We should rethink his article now that the elections (where his video gained popularity) have long since passed. Vasant56 (talk) 08:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't look like he meets any of the notability requirements for a creative professional.

Since his video was a parody of another internet meme, maybe we should just reference him in there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vasant56 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 1 January 2011


 * Keep This is a well-referenced article and references #2 and #3 are strong. Notable for several viral videos (not one ) about politics in both Australia and the USA. I don't know why this nomination is unsigned, so I ask the nominator to identify themself. Cullen328 (talk) 22:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Properly and well-referenced article that is more than one-event. Coverage by Australian media about an Australian citizen for his initial and subsequent actions through continued coverage is plenty good enough. Meets WP:GNG.  That something else does not have an article simply means that it lacked the coverage... and not that this fellow is then somehow non-notable.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - he has received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent secondary sources, so he meets the general notability guideline.-- Beloved Freak  15:07, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
