It's obvious that any attempt to engage in a substantive discussion (instead of simply casting "delete" votes because x page says y) is futile. Rather than wasting more of our time, I've gone ahead and deleted the article. —David Levy 23:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Scott Moschella

I see nothing here to justify a separate page for this guy. He wrote some software, which information could go on that page, but other than that he owns a website (big deal) and produces a Tv programme, neither of which make him notable. The rest is just useless trivia. There is some discussion on the talk page, the thrust of which seems to be that he deserves an article because he might become famous. I think not.

 * Delete per nom and NN, Wikipedia already has more than enough spam from pathetic internet geeks. --Hornet35 06:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge a brief mention of his TV work into GIMPshop, his claim to (near-) fame. --Dhartung | Talk 07:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Anyone who regularly appears on an internationally televised TV program (in this case, Attack of the Show!) is notable.  —David Levy 19:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete If his position was important enough, significant coverage would've been provided by 3rd party sources Corpx 04:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Question: Can someone please explain how having a regular acting role in an internationally televised television program doesn't render this individual notable? No one else is addressing this.  —David Levy 21:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Answer: From the man's own blog: "Scott Moschella is a proud TechTV alumnus and is currently a segment producer on a television show called G4's Attack of the Show." As I said before, he's a producer - of a segment - and I don't think he plays a major part in this show (though I could be wrong). I had a look at the show's website and could find no mention of him at all. It doesn't seem to be verifiable. Chris 07:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * As noted in the article, Scott Moschella regularly appeared as a fictional character called "Jimmy the Geek" (the acting role to which I'm referring). How can someone with a regular acting role in an internationally televised TV program be non-notable?  —David Levy 12:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as fails WP:BIO requirements. --Gavin Collins 09:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's quite frustrating when people attempt to justify deletion by citing a guideline instead of explaining how its application makes sense in a particular instance. I'd really like to know how someone with a regular acting role in an internationally televised TV program is non-notable.  —David Levy 12:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO due to a complete and utter lack of multiple, non-trivial sources about the subject. Burntsauce 22:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
