Sam Sargent

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

Non-notable apparently self-promoting New Zealand social climber. The article itself is heavy with peacock terms, but in trying to track down whether this youngster is genuinely notable, the NZ Google turns up only 3000 hits ... and looking over them, almost all of them refer to other Sam Sargents. His purportedly more famous father has a good bit many fewer hits, and "Sam Sargent" + "It-Boy" has just this article. It doesn't seem to be a hoax, but the few webpage sources listed in the article mention the subject only in passing. Fails WP:BIO, WP:V  RGTraynor  13:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Men may want to be him, and women may want to be with him, but notablity he seems to be lacking in. LonelyBeacon (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no sourced evidence of any achievements which are actually notable, references inflated by inclusion of generic pages which don't mention subject, and gossip columns which hardly qualify as reliable sources. dramatic (talk) 10:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'll second that. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 20:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, his claim to fame appears to be that he's a mate of several famous people. That doesn't make him notable.- gadfium
 * Delete insufficient evidence of notability. The closest thing is That Eye-Bleeding Interview, and it's not exactly significant coverage. Ryan Paddy (talk) 21:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete a facebook profile and a couple of stuff.co.nz references do not signify notability Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
