Scott Kuyken
Unreferenced vanity. Delete unless we get some third-party verifiability that anyone cares - David Gerard 22:04, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly self-promotion, 2 hits in google for 'Scott Kuyken activist'. Feydey 22:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable/unreferenced. — Sesel wa  05:58, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep since i'm becoming a third party, i say go for it.
 * Keep it. what have you got against it?
 * The trouble is that it's not verifiable and we have no evidence that he meets the criterion of importance. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to cover every human being, we need to set some kind of bar. Kappa 00:01, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I see your point. however, mine is that of freedom of speech. How is it "unreferenced vanity" or "self-promotion"? Have you any facts to know who exactly wrote this? If you do, please, let me know, because I would like to think that people can write about others and not be accused of "self-promotion." Delete as possible vanity, if not that then because it's not important. Even the kid's Google-listed blog is a dead link. Trylobyte 01:23, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree it's unfortunate that they made those remarks. Wikipedia does get a lot of self-promotion, but in this case we can't tell and we shouldn't assume. Sorry, it's just part of the Vfd "culture". Kappa 16:14, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep as a member of the Protest Warriors, I am appalled and disgusted at the ignorance in this discussion. Scott is a major leader in our organization and has been one of the biggest influences of all time on the Protest Warriors. I would look to point out that yes, we do care, yes, this is "important", and no, this is not "self promotion" or "vanity". I understand that there needs to be a bar set not to allow just anyone into wikipedia, and I agree. Scott Kuyken is above that bar and for he deserves to be on Wikipedia.
 * Delete Vanity. --InShaneee 16:24, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep I fail to see this as vanity. Very informative and relevant to the field of political activists.
