The result was   delete. Not sure what is going on with the dueling IP editors here so I'm just taking all of the arguments at face value. Consensus seems to be to delete based on insufficient notability. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 06:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

The article is about someone not notable with poor refs, some of which do not support the text. Election to a local library board and running a small business are not sufficient to justify a wiki-bio. 99.144.244.4 (talk) 19:44, 13 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The user suggesting this deletion is of suspect credibility. User talk:99.144.244.4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.196.20 (talk) 16:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I made the recc - and all you've demonstrated is that I am actively involved as an IP editor at Wikipedia. The AfD will be decided on its merits... or the lack therof. At the moment no one has offered any basis to support the article's inclusion here.99.141.243.84 (talk) 23:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like you have actually received a "final warning" for making "disruptive edits" and you are about to have your editing permissions blocked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.243.132 (talk) 20:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Herostratus' nominationon behalf of was malformed, resulting in the discussion blending in with the preceding one on the same page.  I've therefore re-listed this discussion. Uncle G (talk) 11:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Puffery.  Described as a tech expert in the article, the reference only gives him a kind of hat-tip.  Just got mentioned a lot by name, as far as I can tell.  Lots of cites to a website (mindovo) he started, self-referential, I think. Yakushima (talk) 13:37, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as insufficiently notable. --Nlu (talk) 15:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete (As Nominator). Vanity auto-biography. Insufficiently notable local library board member and small businessman. Nothing wrong with that, article subject is clearly a force for good in his town and society - but not sufficient to meet notability requirements for a Wiki-bio. 99.141.243.84 (talk) 20:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Looks like this entry needs improvement and expansion. Subject is head curator of TEDxChicago as well as TEDGlobal attendee. Also, found refeence to subject as leader of SaveBrett.net fan movement to keep Brett Favre on Packers - rep for over 60k fans and cited in recent book "Life After Favre." Google search of subject's name dominated by this subject's work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.231.140.34 (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
