Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Willis (broadcaster)

The result was speedy delete. This was a biography of a living person that cited a web log as its purported source. The web log in turn cited a prior Wikipedia article as its source. The biography made borderline contentious claims about the professionalism of the subject, and I was almost at the point of speedily deleting it on that ground alone. Then I read Articles for deletion/Steve Willis. The parade of sock-puppets there matches the parade of sock-puppets commenting on the web log. This is just a re-hash of content that we've deleted several times before, and just plain hoax vandalism that is obviously coming from a single person. Let's not waste time on this.

The subject of this article is simply non-notable. The current content of the page provides no information to support notability beyond a few jobs the subject has held in notable establishments. The article even notes that the subject has apparently "dropped off the radar". I have nominated this for an AfD as the subject was previously the subject of an article that was deleted (for non-notability). In that AfD there was strong evidence that the subject himself was interfering in the AfD process through sockpuppets. Plumbago 08:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
