Lazlo Toth, vandal
Does not appear to be notable. Possible merge to Pieta. Disputed nn-bio. Stifle 00:48, 12 December 2005 (UTC) Actually, delete and redirect per Eusebeus. Stifle 11:46, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Laszlo Toth. Unfortunately, this fellow did make himself newsworthy; here's a Guardian news story that seems to confirm this.  "Lazlo Toth" is a pseudonym of comedian Don Novello, who writes crank letters and prints collections of the letters and replies he gets from various institutions.

 * Delete and redirect to Don Novello per above. Eusebeus 10:10, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Awful thing to do, but it did make worldwide headlines at the time. Should be moved to Lazlo Toth (vandal) and that Lazlo Toth should redirect to Don Novello, with disambig notes on both. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Don Novello. The article on the Pieta already has relevant notes on this incident, and Don Novello includes an appropriate reference for how Novello chose the name "Lazlo Toth."  There is nothing in this article that needs to be kept or merged. Tim Pierce 13:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Stong keep Important historical event. The perpertrator, has precendence over Novello page who pseudonym is based directly upon the actual identity of Lazlo Toth. 'Lazlo Toth, vandal' is the only way to disambiguate from the other Toths. TransylvanianTwist 01:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If the notariety of the article's subject has is solely from the fact that he wielded a sledgehammer to the Pietà, then a merge to that article is in order. If it is to be kept, I'd suggest a rename to Lazlo Toth (Pietà vandal) with a redirect from Pieta vandal and similar for easier access to the article. B.Wind 21:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and redirect to Lazlo Toth (vandal)-other wise lose all biog. material on him which would be to wikipedia's detriment. Eric A. Warbuton 05:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Move to Lazlo Toth (vandal), to conform with article naming conventions. I think his actions, though despicable, are noteworthy enough to merit a biographical entry. -Colin Kimbrell 17:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
