 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A convicted rapist with a university degree. There was a short-lived flurry of attention to his case in Iceland at the time but in my opinion that does not make him an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia. The article was deleted from the Icelandic Wikipedia but it lingers here. There are no sources on this person in English, there's even less reason to have an article on him here than over there. The man is not notable as an academic. The article is padded with original research demonstrating the trivial point that his writings for a particular website were removed after his conviction. The article was nominated for deletion earlier and kept. I think there have been some changes in attitude towards biographies of living people since then so I'm renominating it.

 * Evidently I overestimated the notability of this case at the time. And although it's still of obscure historical curiosity, mostly because it documents how the Icelandic media/tabloids is prone to handle cases like these it's probably best to delete it all things considered. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, this article should be deleted for the reasons given. --D. Webb 18:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, it was not noteworthy back then and it still isn't. The toughened approach to biographies that has been adopted since the first AfD adds a new reason to trash this. --Bjarki 16:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Becoming a convicted rapist does not automatically make you encyclopedia material, sorry.  RFerreira 06:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
