Notable only for one event, per WP:BLP1E JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per my nomination. Mr. Ferrari is a classic case of WP:BLP1E. He received brief prominence for attempting to get his AOL service cancelled. He blogged on it, and it was picked up in the media. But that was that. This article was nominated for deletion shortly after it was created in 2006, and the outcome was "no consensus." I think the passage of time has indicated clearly that WP:BLP1E applies: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a particular event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, low profile, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted." --JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge. It's certainly worthy of mention in the "controversies" section in the AOL article. But as nom points out, subject is not notable outside of this one event. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 15:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to AOL (and possibly merge, though he is covered there anyway). It's clear the subject fails WP:BLP1E, as he is only famous for a particular event and doesn't have any long-term notability. In fact he was covered in an article titled "Web celebs: where are they now?". Hut 8.5 20:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
