Patrick Kelley

 * — (View AfD)

Does not meet WP:NOT, is also autobiographical (and reads like spam). 2 of the links are to the author's own website (an advertising portal/on-line store), classifying them as advertisements. The Savannah cat article already mentions this person as one of the breed's founders, we don't need a separate article detailing his personal achievements or how popular his website is (none of which I can verify from a non-trivial source anyhow).

 * Delete per nom. Also an autobiography. MER-C 13:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete Not an autobiography and comes from 2 reliable referenced sources (TICA'S Savannah Cat Breed Section and S.I.M.B.A). Finiteyoda says there are two links to Patrick Kelley's personal website. There are none. (If someone sees them please point them out) Finiteyoda has been aware of this page for quite some time and Finiteyoda's request for deletion comes only after his/her obscurely referenced additions to the Savannah cat article where edited.

 * First, Toast, I am not upset about you editing my references, I kept them and even cleaned them up a little further. My request came because I had just noticed Patrick's page, and per the rules, it's not the kind of content Wikipedia hosts. Also, Patrick does own savannahcat.com and the yahoo groups linked to from that site, I assume, since the contact e-mail for both is the same. Also, it is an autobiography, even if it has referenced sources; if you follow the WP:AUTO link, you'll note the definition is when someone comes to Wikipedia and creates an article about themselves, and why we frown upon that. Finally, you may want to review Wiki policy on Sock_puppetry. Your first 20 or so edits here at Wikipedia were to add links to Patrick Kelley's breeding site, darkeggs.com, and the next 15 or so to add information about Patrick Kelley in various places and removing spam cleanup tags. I highly suggest reading more at Community_Portal, because many of your contributions to-date look like spam. Finiteyoda 23:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Finiteyoda the Parick Kelley article has ONE link to a site that is owned by him (not TWO as you accused the article of having in your request for deletion). Obviously you said "two" because you thought nobody would check. I mean come on...you have researched every nusance of this article and you are an old pro on Wikipedia. Huge difference between 1 and 2. That said, the one site in question is recongnized by the majority of us as the breed site for Savannahs. Not spam. I have contacted Patrick Kelley about this article and he says he did not write it. I certainly believe him over you because...well..you lie. However your passion for Wikipedia and the Savannah breed are obvious and if this article is deleted I'm sure you and I can work hand in hand and write a new article on Patrick Kelley (and Joyce Sroufe for that matter) that is better suited for Wikepidea.Toast222 09:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I apologize if it's one site instead of two, but it doesn't change the argument any. Also, if Patrick Kelley is not user Pfkelley, you might want to tell him that someone on Wikipedia is impersonating him. --Finiteyoda 23:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
