Ricardo Aleman

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Standup commedian who's biggest claim-to-fame appears to be that be was immediately eliminated from America's Got Talent, having insulted the judges. Just not notable, IMHO. Also, quite likely a subject created vanity page, given the creator's user ID. TexasAndroid 12:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC) *Delete Though he has appeared on national television, and has released a CD, he does not satisfy the requirements set forth on WP:BIO. Maybe some day, but as of now, he isn't notable. Though WP:COI isn't a good thing, it doesn't necesarily mean that something should be deleted. I'd say honestly it should be on a case by case basis. -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 16:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC) *Deleted I am terribly sorry to upset anyone. I thought as long as I posted facts, and not say “He’s Great” I was permitted. There are very few comedians on here, many with fewer credits than myself. I blanked out the page, and if I’m notable enough down the road, someone will write about it. Ricardo
 * Delete Claim-to-fame is a microscopically-short appearance on a TV talent show: the linked clip is 20 seconds long! Looks like a WP:COI case as well, one of the pictures has the description "The picture is of me, Comedian Ricardo Aleman". Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vanity article for non-notable alleged comic. Realkyhick 15:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Obvious vanity.--Ispy1981 15:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Administrative note: I asked Starblind to reopen this discussion because the author apparently regretted his comment immediately above and recreated the article. Shalom Hello 01:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That is correct, and with that in mind the closing admin may wish to let this run an extra couple of days to make up for the time during which it was closed. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My opinion: delete for similar reasons as everyone has been saying already. Shalom Hello 01:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I have changed my vote from before, as I spoke with him via my talk page after this was originally deleted. He has provided independant sources written about himself, that are now sourced on his page.  I believe him to pass WP:BIO -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 12:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep It! I've seen a few articles on what he did. A quick google also tells me he's a regular at most of the NYC clubs. There's no reason to delete. WP:BIO --chrise007 talk with me·changes 12:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it asserts notability, and appears to be notable, although a (verify) tag might be needed. Bearian 18:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Thanks for the support everyone. I reposted per my talk with Sumnjim. Raleman

 * Keep Wikipedia isn't paper and the worst that happens is the stub sits for a while, and if it can't ever be more than a stub, we can delete it later. User:Raleman seems to be aware of WP:COI and doesn't seem to be abusing Wikipedia.  Jehochman  Talk 03:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
