Jason A. Haap
to me is not apparently notable, exists solely as a web personality localized to the Cincinnati area &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 18:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete article has 3 references... so far so good, let's see what they are... his blog, somebody else's blog, his website. Hmm.  Not so good.  "Jason A. Haap" gets 3 unique Google hits, "Jason Haap" gets 80 unique Google hits. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * questionable keep not notable in his own right, but may be by association with Justin Jeffre and the Cincinnati Beacon. Perhaps someone should put Cincinnati Beacon under the spotlight too! Ohconfucius 11:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:BIO. Can be mentioned in Cincinnati Beacon if that article stays but doesn't need one of his own.  Eluchil404 21:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As I am Jason Haap, I am troubled that Wikipedia would allow such defamatory material a place on their page. The material listed is not true.  For example, I am not unemployed.  I am not "self-styled" in that the moniker "The Dean of Cincinnati" was given to me by associates.  (That final point is admittedly a bit absurd.)  I am not a racist because one person says I am (Nate Livingston, who has said that about many activists in the Cincinnati area.  I would like to note there are plenty of entries on his blog where I am praised -- all dated AFTER the post linked here.)  Additionally, the "outrage" described about an old blog comment is nothing more than this single person -- who has trolled all corners of the internet trying to broadcast inaccurate information about my personal life.  Though I am partially a public figure in the Cincinnati community, I hardly am such on a national or international level.  Lastly, I do not deserve to be dogged this way by an angry politico in the Midwest -- at least not on Wikipedia's servers.
 * Delete, preferably speedily, for making unsourced negative statements about a living person. —xyzzyn 01:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
