Jeremiah Ledbetter

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced, orphaned BLP article about someone who has made three short films, with no credible assertion of notability anywhere in the article's history. Article history shows speedy and PROD removed without any real improvement. Michig (talk) 06:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as unsalvable violation of WP:BLP. Earlier versions of this article refer to his films The Man with Apple-Shaped Boxing Gloves and Hallelujah! Gorilla Revival... which led me to the Jeremiah Ledbetter listed at IMDB.  In April 2009 a SPA editor apparently vandalized the article without it being reverted... removing all the article's text and changing birthdate and birthplace (which greatly added to confusions).  Pretty much, the article remained in the vandalized version ever since.  So let's look to the last version that had any verifiable facts about the real Jeremiah... the guy born in Alabama and not an imaginary one about some guy allegedly from Seattle:  The subject of this article is unsourcable... being found only in non-RS and wiki-mirrors. His films, while verifiable, have not themselves gotten press nor distribution. Neither he nor they have won awards. And so, while feeling a bit grumpy that a vandalized article was able to sit un-mended in mainspace for over a year, the fact of the matter is that even were it mended... notability is lacking.
