Matthew Avery
Surely NN? Seems like a regular guy to me, and definitely not a topic of encyclopaedic value.  James  Kendall   [talk] 14:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Who the fuck are you to decide what is of encyclopedic value? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Gaius Baltar (talk • contribs)


 * Wikipidia is an encyclopedia, not a free host for vanity pages. Please read the guidelines for inclusion including autobiography, biography, notability and verifiability.  Also please do not remove the deletion header from the page until the formal deletion review is over.  Please read the deletion policy linked at the top of this page; wikipedia operates by consensus implementation of guidelines that are also agreed upon by consensus.  The answer to your question is all of us. Thatcher131 15:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. Thatcher131 15:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete; doesn't meet WP:BIO criteria... borderline speedy CSD:A7.--Isotope23 15:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Does not assert notability. "Biographical profile" a link to his yahoo profile? BWAHAHAHAHAH &rArr;    SWAT Jester   [[Image:Flag_of_Iceland.svg|18px|]]  Ready    Aim    Fire!  15:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Deli nk 16:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability not established; original research. Bucketsofg 16:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per nom; even by the standards of vanity pages, this one is overwhelmingly not notable. Any bio that has to include working for two days (?!?) at a hotel once managed by a brother of Tom Selleck in order to supply padding ... that's sad.  One wonders whether this fellow's claim to be a "financial analyst" involves being the file clerk at a bank branch. RGTraynor 17:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know how anyone can claim that the subject is non-notable or that the article does not assert notability. The article makes very clear that he threw a touchdown pass in a JV scrimmage game and that he was a pallbearer at his grandfather's funeral.  I think the article is clearly intended as humor (if not, one worries), but obviously delete per nom is appropriate.  Joe 18:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Tagged speedy... the more I see it, the more I want it BJAODN'd...--Isotope23 18:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, just silly. Sandstein 19:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete: A7 as tagged, obviously. -- Kinu t /c  20:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Somebody's mad  just copied the AfD template off of Matthew Avery and pasted it onto two more pages, Rafael Galvez and Maurice Postal.  All these articles were created at the same time by  and share some of the same photos.  I removed the improper Afd templates and prodded them as nn, but if someone wants to retag them as Speedy then go ahead.  I think someone's having a snit fit. Thatcher131 20:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
