 * Delete. Vanity, neologism, trivial, self-promotion, potential insult to people mentioned in the article, pointless and not notable. Anything else? Average Earthman 12:43, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, and redirect to George Stroumboulopoulos. &#8212;Mar·ka·ci 22:56, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gigglecruft, I guess the same guys vandalised Urban Dictionary too. Andrewa 17:33, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't know it was possible to vandalize Urban Dictionary. RickK, posting from school.  66.60.159.190 19:23, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yes, indeed. The Urban Dictionary terms of service prohibits users from doing a number of things, including 10. stalk or flame another person by submitting content deemed inappropriate. While the Urban Dictionary text doesn't identify any particular person, the Wikipedia article does. So if they are part of the same project, it is vandalism both of Wikipedia and of Urban Dictionary. It's a guess, and not really relevant to the decision here. No change of vote. Andrewa 02:27, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Beyond trival.  Edeans 05:54, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, may even be speedyable. (A redirect to George Stroumboulopoulos wouldn't be unreasonable, especially since his surname is notoriously hard to spell correctly. I almost accidentally spelled his surname wrong when I first created the article. But delete first, then create the redirect; we wouldn't want to keep the existing article's edit history.)
