Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leland Thorpe

This is vanity. I know this guy, and I deserve an encyclopedia entry more than he does. 1 Average Earthman 12:23, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Please let us know who you are. Yes, I questioned this article when it first came up.  Delete.  And the redirect Leland thorpe.  RickK 19:08, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Just a random professor. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 21:45, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I actually doubt that he's a professor. According to google, he is a high school frisbee player on Hampton team. Andris 00:40, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * dELETE. Spleeman 04:46, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. A google search indicates that Chuck Thorpe is dean of the Qatar campus (and was director of Carnegie Mellon's Robotics institute 2001-), and Leland is his son.
 * Keep. If you run a finger lelandt@andrew.cmu.edu, it will show you that he is indeed the associate dean of the new campus.
 * Someone has misedited this - my comment was the previous delete with the weblink, not the finger claim (I have now corrected the lines). I don't see an identity associated with the keep post. Please pay attention when editing people!Average Earthman 13:59, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * In any case, I will keep my delete vote. "Leland Thorpe" only returns 41 hits on google which puts him into "non-notable" category (and "Leland Thorpe" +Qatar returns zero hits). Andris 20:15, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Leland is a valid candidate for an encyclopedia entry.  Being the founder of the Hampton ultimate team he should be on this website.  Again, he is the accociate dean of the Qatar campus.
 * Keep. Mr. Thorpe will be the head high school education outreach coordinator for the new Qatar campus.  He will be leading the CMU effort to bring robotics and technology to the local students, being a chief driving force to the development of the Middle East.
 * Delete. He even admitted on his blog that the article was an experiment.. Furthermore, founding a high school ultimate frisbee team is not noteworthy.  For the sake of accuracy, the Associate Dean of the CMU Qatar campus is Robert P. Kail . Chris N. 21:24, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:17, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable and because I loathe sockpuppets. - Lucky 6.9 06:02, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless expanded with lots of accomplishments a lot more noteworthy than what I've seen so far. --ssd 14:42, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep . No vote because I too loathe sockpuppets. anthony (see warning)
 * Delete. --Gary D 08:52, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mr. Thorpe is the founder of an Ultimate team that not only contributes to the Pittsburgh Ultimate community but is also good spirited and outgoing.  Any person who has this accomplishment under his belt deserves to be recognized.  This is not an example of vanity or vandalism. Anon contrib that was incorrectly posted to the following discussion.)

 * Delete. This guy deserves to be in an encyclopedia because he started an intramural Frisbee team? Please, tell me another. orthogonal 20:51, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
