Jon harchick
"Jon is 'probably' one of the most hated people on the Internet"? If this typifies his work, I can see why (although, to be fair, I'd never heard of him before this. Listed here rather than speedied as it does seem to be asserting notability/notoriety, but not remotely to any standard we have. When you put your own name as a (redlinked, naturally) category, you have ended all need to argue that this isn't the vanity page's vanity page. Daniel Case 03:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - very thin claim of notability, and the claim is inherently unverifiable. Unless he's a personality written about in external (and thus verifiable) sources, this fails Wikipedia's criteria for biographies. --P e ruvianLlama(spit) 03:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom, and I already speedied this. --Merovingian - Talk 03:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd be willing to let this AfD run its full length in order to get a consensus for deleting and salting the page. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 14:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete, fails WP:BIO. Salt after deletion. -- Kinu t /c  23:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete "His audience is comprised of his friends and classmates" says everything that needs to be said about this individual's notability. The candor is appreciated and commendable, but unfortunately the article doesn't meet Wikipedia's criteria per WP:BIO. --Shirahadasha 23:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nomination. Pathlessdesert 12:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I re-edited the prose, and corrected grammar/spelling mistakes.  Further, the Bio critereon are far from being immutable guidelines, they are admittedly refuted by wikipedians, and are not law.  If you believe that the prose is still sub-par, address me with specifics.  If you feel that the violation of guidelines (which are clearly labelled as not being wikimedia policy) is wrong, then I challenge you to ask yourselves about the point of wikipedia as a whole.  Information wants to be free, and this is doubtlessly information. CameronB 04:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: No, WP:BIO is not policy... but it is a consensus-driven standard that most established editors of Wikipedia apply. As for the purpose of Wikipedia, this and this should answer any questions. -- Kinu t /c  06:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thank you, Kinu, for the information.  Your brief links showcase no obvious problems evident in this article, and should serve as an indication of the case to retain the page.  A brief search on google has produced an undeniable "Anti-Jon" sentiment, so it is obvious the gentleman is out there on the net, and known to the internet community, even if not known by the largest portion.  Since Wikipedia is doubtlessly not a popularity contest, I would hate to think that "He's not popular enough" is a valid arguement.  It takes little effort to verify his presence and notoriety.

 * delete please it seems like a attack article if media covers him we can recreate later Yuckfoo 17:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Come on! I seen worse articles than this on wikipedia. Just do a google search for "Jon Harchick" and you will see just how notable he really is. I don't believe it takes a Jay Leno show appearance to get on wikipedia. I mean com'on what do you guys have to loose a whole 12kb of server space? domskidan 17:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
