Vanity article. Lower level former White House employee. Smashvilletalk 00:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC) Keep a speechwriter for one of the 43 Presidents of the US. Helped mold policies that will affect the country for years. Sgt. bender (talk) 01:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * He is not the speechwriter. He was a speechwriter. He has way overstated his own credentials in an article he wrote himself. --Smashvilletalk 03:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you please assume good faith here? I see no evidence Mr. Senik wrote this himself. - Mgm|(talk) 10:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He has tried repeatedly from his IP to plug his name into the notable alumni section of Belmont University. Those were the only edits. It's not assuming bad faith to say that someone wrote a vanity article. --Smashvilletalk 01:13, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * How do you know the IP is his? - Mgm|(talk) 09:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Keep appears notable. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 01:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Might as well have been put up for Speedy Deletion--Unionhawk Talk 00:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - vanity product of an SPA. Racepacket (talk) 02:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Major claim to fame is being a speechwriter (one of many) for Bush - for 1 year. Not enough notability. Rd232 talk 14:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the non-notable external links show the kind of notability required by Wikipedia. The article references are no more than briefs from alumni/school websites or self-published columns on employer/sympathetic websites. The last cite to a guardian.co.uk page appears to be little more than a user-contributed essay and profile. A News Google search brings up no attribution or quotes in news articles: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22troy+senik%22&cf=all. And there's no independent documentation of the stated credentials. Flowanda | Talk 10:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
