Jonathon Sharkey
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

this is an unnotable figure. The page mostly talks about his runs for political office and and his run ins with the law. Nothing much is made of early life or his personal life. It starts from his time in the military. One sentence in the background talks about his tattoos. This article is in no way encyclopediac, and lastly, he is a very unnotable figure. Many of the sentences in the article are claims from him. Lastly, a major source is an article ffrom imdb that he obviously made himself. It could easily be a lie, like the "fact" that he trained Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson which has no proof. DELETE SOXROX (talk) 22:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - There is significant coverage in multiple sources from multiple countries. He meets the general notability guideline.  The article needs to be cleaned up and the imdb sourced information needs to be verified through other sources or removed.  The answer is editing not deletion.  GB fan (talk) 23:18, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notability has already been established twice before (see the previous two AFDs, both of which ended in solid KEEPs). Difluoroethene (talk) 05:25, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:08, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - he's certainly odd, but he's also been featured on MSNBC and ABC news. He has passed muster in two past AfDs, and I can't see that consensus can change that quickly. Bearian (talk) 19:35, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The press coverage clearly establishes his notability per WP:BIO.--Chaser (talk) 04:08, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Non-notable figure. Coverage does not reflect on him but rather his eccentric candidacy as part of an overall trend. The overall trend should have an article, but not this individual.--William S. Saturn (talk) 05:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. & William S. Saturn. The coverage focuses more on the eccentric tendencies & behavior than on the individual himself. Most of the sources treat the subject as a "color story" or novelty news item, and give little revlent biographical info, thus failing to establish notability. Also fails WP:POLITICIAN.--JayJasper (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is worth noting that a previous version of this article was deleted sometime in 2010. Note that the current version is a re-creation started in April of this year, and that the first two afd discussions listed above are dated three years or more prior to that. This means that either an afd discussion is missing above, or that it is was deleted as a result of an expired PROD. In either case, please take into consideration that the the prior "keeps" cited in this discussion refer to an earlier & different version of the article than the one than the one currently being discussed, and the earlier article was eventually deleted.--JayJasper (talk) 18:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - It was speedy deleted 5 November 2010 by JzG as an A7. I don't believe an article that has survived two AFDs should be eligible for an A7 deletion.  GB fan (talk) 20:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Right. That's long been practice.--Chaser (talk) 21:50, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Why haven't you people put in that since 1988 I've been a Pro-Wrestler? That I was wrestling when you needed to be licensed by the State Athletic Commission? How about the fact I own a Film Production Company - Impaler Films, Inc. that is registered and tax exempt with the State of Florida. How about the fact I started the VWP Party in 2005 that is recognized by the FEC. How about the fact I have a movie coming out this month called The Comeback Fighter - http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi1468859929/ I am also doing other SAG Featured Films - http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/jonathon-sharkey-2012-presidential-candidate-profile/ I've done stuff in my life, people only dream of.

 * Make these suggestions at Talk:Jonathon Sharkey. It helps if you can refer us to reliable sources that verify these things.--Chaser (talk) 05:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep per GB fan and Difluoroethene. - Pictureprovince (talk) 12:46, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Are you saying the Conservative Daily News is not a reliable source? They made me send them documents to prove what I said when they interviewed me. Go to their website - http://conservativedailynews.com/ if you say they are not reliable, I'll tell you said it. BTW, I am NOT A SATANIST... I AM LUCIFERIAN... Also my birtyhday is 2 Apr 1964. Anyone wish to be kind to me and make those correction? Jonathon The Impaler(talk) 09:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, per WP:POLITICIAN and other deletion votes. 75.150.67.34 (talk) 17:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - He is significant for other reasons than just running for president, such as his statements regarding George Bush and the resulting controversy, unlike that John Davis or Ole Savior guys who were only known for running for this one office. Thunderstone99 (talk) 01:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
