Krishna vyas

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

not seeing much notability here. Most of it is "got non-notable award X!" and "applied for notable award Y!" Ironholds (talk) 03:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. There's no primary claim of notability here. It's established clearly that Krishna is/was a student at Pikeville High School and the University of Kentucky, that he performed well in his classes, that he performed research at university, and that he participated in a number of extracurricular activities. However, none of these establish notability. Simply piling up a stack of personal accomplishments results in a resume, not an encyclopedia article. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 06:02, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Petition to Keep This individual has an article written because he is an accomplished writer and model. Several other title-holding individuals of subjective importance have been presented on the site as well. For example, pageant winners for 'special awards' and several authors with non-notable publications. is nothing more than a simple biography, whereas this article is expounded upon by several notable publicized references. Furthermore, several models with not-so-extravagant histories have been presented on the page as well. did in fact discover something, but this individual has published articles regarding discoveries on the microscopic level.

This individual has also demonstrated a sense of compassion and meaning to advocacy programs and has as many credentials as other authors  and scholars. Several articles have also included male models of relatively minor importance. I believe that this article fully deserves recognition and publication as a source to others since this individual has several regional, state, and nationally-important titles of significance, along with filming a documentary. Just because an individual effects change at a state and regional-level and makes a discovery of a trend in the molecular world as opposed to the macroscopic world does not justify a rejection of 'questionable' notability.

Hmm...interesting. It seems like making discoveries has no credibility according to Wikipedia...bye-bye Nobel Prize Laureates! A model that has a brain and does good work...I see PLENTY of these articles online...Miss USA, some random politicians and business owners. I'm not for sure about the sources of the article, but if they are reliable, I would advocate keeping this article. Seems like discrimination to publish one renowned model or scholar and not another. phsozzyosborne(&phsozzyosborne;) 010:02, 2 June 2009 — phsozzyosborne (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comparing this guy to a Nobel laureate? Nice. The articles on other people are included because they pass the inclusion criteria. This one does not. If you have such a problem with a deletion, get this article up to the required standard. Ironholds (talk) 14:42, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I removed the pic with this guy grinning with his hand on the head of a blind person in a hospital bed, it is perhaps unethical and definitely in poor taste. Drawn Some (talk) 16:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Hey everyone, sorry to edit this again. Hopefully I don't lose everyone's comments by accident. Regardless, as I understand, placing the hand on the head of an ill-one in some cultures is considered a mark of respect. For example, smiling in some cultures is considered rude (Saudi, especially) and touching the feet of one's elders is considered respectful to some east Asians I believe? I agree the photo could seem controversial, but so could wearing shorts in the Middle East...just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phsozzyosborne (talk • contribs) 21:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Agree. Given this chap's self-promotional ways that image is really unethical. I'll see if it can be speedy deleted. --17:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Note & Strong Delete User:Oa012585956 has removed two delete votes and the reasoning: Rev history. I'm unable to revert the edit, and I don't want to add other editors' votes back in, so if someone in the know can take care of this, it would be good. Needless to say, I'm a Strong Delete because in addition to being non-notable (my earlier reasoning, since deleted), this is now COI & vandalism -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete : Wikipedia is not your school yearbook. I have seen a lot of pompous wierdos at AfD but this one takes the cake. Two of his references are photos of himself!!! LoL!!! --Deepak D'Souza 11:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks for putting my vote back. Needless to state the obvious but let me put it on record: Phsozzyosborne is a sockpuppet of Oa012585956 --Deepak D'Souza 17:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's "weirdos", but try to be more dignified. Hekerui (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. No doubt, the boy has a bright future and he is already a notable figure within the four walls of his school. Salih  ( talk ) 17:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no notability with regard to WP:BIO. Hekerui (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete Speedy per A7 surely? Where are the indications of importance or significance? ukexpat (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Snow delete per above. Fails WP:BIO. A Google search returns no reliable sources, while a Google News Archive search returns results about other people who share the same name. Furthermore, none of the external links/references in the article are reliable, independent of the subject, or cover him in depth. Cunard (talk) 20:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - grade A for effort, maybe scrapes past WP:CSD, but not notable in Wikipedia terms. Deepak D'Souza puts it best: this is a school year-book entry, not an encyclopedia article. JohnCD (talk) 20:56, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Note to Admin This is an admission of sockpuppetry, the rev history shows that Oa012585956 did the deletions, but now Phsozzyosborne claims it was him. - SpacemanSpiff (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Sorry for the clarification, but more than one individual may use a single computer, and more than one individual may contribute his or her own opinions. Again, I'm sure there are controversies to why many singers are important to humanity; I think that these helpful, but unjustifiable comments are only subjective reasons. I don't believe the value of a human life can be determined solely by a few individuals. I personally believe every individual who has produced a song is eligible for submission into an encyclopedia, but this individual has written and published; furthermore, this individual, along with others who will be submitted similar articles in the near future, may or may not necessarily deserve credit, but that is not the issue. The issue is that the individual has served as a reference and is research-worthy. Subjective opinions as to whether they are valuable is a mere opinion...everyone has one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phsozzyosborne (talk • contribs) 21:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Sorry! One last rebuttal; Google is not the only search engine... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phsozzyosborne (talk • contribs) 21:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
