This is a BLP of a young man "notable" for drinking 1.5 litres of Coca-Cola on a Finnish television show. The rest of the article is a BLP nightmare.

Even the Finnish Wikipedia thought him unnotable and deleted their version. Scott Mac (Doc) 23:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:BIO, WP:N, and, as the article claims, is notable for only one event, then that does not constitute "notability". My two cents. Cheers.  I 'mperator 23:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Correction: the assertions of notability are predicated on his having failed to drink that much cola. I feel that in this matter, we should emulate the Finnish Wikipedia. DS (talk) 23:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete Probably not notable per above, but there does seem to be a fair amount of 3rd party coverage of this: . Apparently it is a small-moderate Internet phenomenon per article and 1.6M hits for Original 2006 video and 2M+ hits for related videos . --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability implies something notable Any amount of internet notice for nothing still = nothing. DGG (talk) 02:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well Star Wars Kid and Numa Numa Guy didn't exactly do anything inherently notable either. Sometimes one can be notable just for being noticed. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: He's supposedly notable for one event, and that one event is something that isn't notable itself (drinking/failing to drink a quantity of liquid), so I don't really see how he's notable enough for Wikipedia. His name could, however, be added to one of those lists on Internet Memes or some such. Nick (talk) 11:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nick. He says it all. Bearian (talk) 15:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as per Nick and Bearian. Also agree that he fails WP:BLP. Oldlaptop321 (talk) 00:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, and I'm not at all sure this shouldn't be speedied immediately. Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * weak delete/delete for now The individual seems to be WP:BLP1E. However, he has also entered the news for criminal accusations independent of his attempted beverage consumption. Regardless, there's a clear claim of notability so speedy deletion would be out of process and a very bad idea. JoshuaZ (talk) 19:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per DGG. Possibly mention in some appropriate list of internet memes.  Sandstein   17:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
