Ken Hoang

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

AfDs for this article:  Article about a non-notable video game player. I don't see many article about people good at one game, be it super smash bros or mario kart or pac man. TBDevilRays2009 (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

The editor also became editor during the same time as the March 2009 vandals of this article. His first edit from immediate return was the nomination of Ken Hoang. He stated the exact same reasons for deleting this article. Those reasons had been fully addressed in the previous discussion. This nomination clearly shows personal bias and possible bad faith.

 * Delete. As nominator.  TBDevilRays2009 (talk) 15:39, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, as the subject is notable for more than one thing. In particular, his participation on a major primetime network reality television show, Survivor. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  02:06, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep If this was just about his video game skills, I'd be hesitant. However, his appearance on Survivor and placing rather high (5th, meaning he was in every episode), and the subsequent spotlight, makes him clearly notable as shown (sourcing could be better, but they'er good enough for demonstration). --M ASEM (t) 02:18, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * KeepHe was on survivor, and was a prominent participant. Its certainly not all about his gaming. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.184.108 (talk) 09:25, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep The last nomination of Ken Hoang was agreed to be in bad faith the issues have been long resolved im tired of this article repeatedly facing ungrounded nomination that may violate WP policy. The editor also has a history of vandalism. If there are no disagreements i will do a Non admin closure tomorrow. Valoem   talk  17:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment No need to perform a non-admin closure. I'm sure I could ping another admin to close it if necessary. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  18:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep – again, bad-faith nomination by a possible sock of User:Don't Feed the Zords. MuZemike 19:59, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Note – User:TBDevilRays2009 has been indefinitely blocked as a sock puppet of User:Don't Feed the Zords, and the user's IP block exemption has also been revoked. I think anyone uninvolved can close this AFD, now. MuZemike 21:32, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
