Matthew Degnan

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

I'm proposing the deletion of this article and the short articles that it links to. There is no indication of notability here, and I can't find anything but social network profiles searching for Degnan and his work. It appears to be a young writer who's written a few short stories and movies with friends, but nothing that is in any way noted by any source whatsoever.

 * Delete. It was speedy-deleted as un-notable on 25 December. Nothing here or in several web searches provides any evidence of notability.  Dawn Bard (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. No evidence of notability. Works are unpublished or "currently being written". &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - he has written a few short stories which got published in a local paper, but for which no sourcing is provided, and in any case, that isn't enough for notability. There is no indication any notice has been take of his film work.  It both fails notability, and more importantly, fails verifiability. -- Whpq (talk) 21:00, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete - the speedy tag was removed by a new IP user, possibly the aticle creator.   The subject isn't notable as defined by WP:N and there are no references.   I assume that sub-articles such as The Tale of Gregory Lovell will be deleted too. -- Deadly&forall;ssassin  03:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete per DeadlyAssassin. decltype 16:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge or Userfy to User:Matthew Degnan. Bearian (talk) 15:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC) Done, see User:Matthew Degnan/Bio.  User notified on his talk page. Bearian (talk) 15:36, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, don't userfy, just simply delete. Userfying vanity pages still lets the vanity pages stay. There's absolutely no point to that, unless the user is a valued member of the community. If they're only here to promote themselves, than that's just giving them most of what they want. --  Zanimum (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
