 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. I think that in this case, since there are no outright "keep" arguments. I'm going to go with the weak consensus and the subject's wishes. Also. Hutchison effect use to be a standalone article but it also looks like it had some BLP issues so it goes too. However, if someone wants to try cleaning it up I'll be glad to userfy it.

John Hutchison

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Mr Hutchinson has emailed in to the Volunteer Response Team (info-en-q at wikimedia.org), asking that this article be deleted on the grounds that it is nonsensical, unsourced and derogatory.The email is available to OTRS volunteers through this link. I am making this request on his behalf.

My own opinion is that the article is poorly sourced for a BLP, and focusses to much on the 'Hutchinson effect', and not enough on the gentleman himself. The gentleman may have unorthodox views, but we should still be sticking to reliable sources when reporting about him. The Cavalry (Message me) 18:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

 * move to Hutchison effect (currently a redirect to "John Hutchison"), and copyedit accordingly. The effect is mildly notable, the man not really. - Nabla (talk) 22:00, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete at request of subject. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete and possibly a rename to Hutchison effect - As Nabla said, the effect seems to be notable but there doesn't seem to be a focus on John Hutchison for the person he his. Google, Google News and Yahoo searches didn't show anything for a biography on the man. SwisterTwister  talk  03:18, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as per request by subject. Sources are insufficient quality to create a useful Hutchison effect article from what exists here. --Kvng (talk) 16:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Move to Hutchison effect and improve, as per Nabla, as that's what the article seems to focus on anyway. -- &oelig; &trade; 18:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
