The result was Speedy deletion. This was weird. Joke-ish articles and vandalism sprees are no good people. If the subject merits an article, let a good one be written with no ulterior motivation. If I could roll my eyes in wikiscript... &mdash; Scientizzle 18:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I feel bad about this; this is mostly my fault (I encouraged creation of the article as a bit of a joke.) In any case the article subject does not meet notability requirements (qua author, e.g., he has had no book from a major publisher; qua "public figure" just a few interviews here and there.) The article subject himself is very opposed to this page, and I think we should also take that into account. Let me suggest to the closing admin that this discussion be courtesy blanked to respect Jim's wishes.

If anyone wants to recreate the page, please contact me first. Sdedeo (tips) 18:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Keep Sorry Jim, but your anti-careerist careerism has caught up with you. It's high time you had a Wikipedia page, and isn't vandalism more interesting than deletion? Of course, it would be nice if they spelled your name right, but that in itself is kinda funny.

 * Comment The question here is, is this subject so into the fringes of notability that he can ask for the article to be deleted and we could grant it? I don't know, considering the publications his work has appeared in and the interviews (one with NPR) he has done. I'm going to reserve my vote until other editors can weigh in on this.--Sethacus 16:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
