 * Delete -I am placing a VFD to respect the person's privacy and may place the same Vfds on other currently known young living prodigies. These persons may resent publicity.--Jondel 07:54, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Unless there has been a request from Mr. Kearney (who I'm guessing is 21 now based on the date of an article), his page shouldn't be deleted due to a vague concern about privacy. Rhobite 16:22, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. On a side note, if a subject wants their article deleted it should be brought up here or on the Village Pump. I can imagine certain cases where we'd remove information due to privacy, but usually if a subject is notable they don't have a right to remove information from their article here.

 * Keep. He's worthy of an article, so unless he's shown concern about his privacy himself, I agree with Rhobite. Mgm|(talk) 17:16, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and if someone is notable, they get an article whether they like it or not. I don't see that their opinion should have any weight in the matter. Meelar (talk) 20:23, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * comment desperate rewrite needed if kept, the beginning is ... bad --TimPope 20:28, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep his father wrote a book about him for crying out loud, and there have been many newspaper articles. At this point (he is now grown) I don't think that privacy is the main concern. The article is terrible though, needs a big cleanup. Fawcett5 01:02, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I basically don't know why you'd want to delete this. Danielfong 02:02, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Though does need work. EvilPhoenix 03:55, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:36, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep although of borderline notability based upon what's written here. If privacy is an issue there are literally thousands of Wikipedia articles that would need to be deleted. 23skidoo 14:06, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but definitely in need of a clean-up. -- Lochaber 16:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
