Matt Pawlowski

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

This article has a great deal of unsourced information. One source linked to a non-existent page, which I removed. It appears to be, at least partially, hoax which strangely enough was input in a vandalizing edit (I won't insert a diff for the vandalism as it's not really proof of anything but I found it interesting enough to note). My main belief that this is a hoax is that it claims that he graduated from the University of Minnesota while the link that shows his basketball team's record shows that he's still in high school. Besides the fact that there appears to be a possible copyvio with this website, there's too much unverifiable information for a BLP. I think this article should be userfied and taken down until the information can be verified. For any possible hoax that wasn't a BLP, I'd just remove the questionable info but for a BLP, I can only find one, non-independent source to verify any of the information in the entire article.

 * This is the Google News search I used to find coverage. I couldn't find any so I'd say the subject fails WP:BIO as well.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 18:40, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete No assertion of significance or importance. Independent references not available to support the article or prove notable for WP:BIO. There is apparently a ball player with the same name. A search for ("Matt Pawlowski" + artist) brings up an article that talks about artists leaving San Francisco for cheaper places and he has a couple of paragraphs in there about his rent, etc. I guess he can't call himself a "west coast artist" any longer.

 * Delete per above. Although the works have a source at the artist's site as the nominator said, this section is a copyvio, with many other unsourced statements. Most importantly, the subject doesn't pass this notability guideline as the artist doesn't pass any of the guidelines listed there. Mm40 (talk) 21:50, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Ony source provided is that he once played high school sports. Even if nontrivial independent reliable sources could be found for the other items claimed in the article, he still would not meet our criteria. DreamGuy (talk) 00:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
