Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William R. Craft, Jr.


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete.  With reference to the below discussion, which is turning into a resounding 'delete', and with reference to, a request from the subject to have the article deleted, I believe that the only sensible recourse is to delete this article as a speedy delete under a mixture of 'request by author' and 'not notable'. Waiting an extra two days for the AfD to close would result in the subject becoming more upset, more votes being cast in favour of deletion, and a general snowball close. If anyone disagrees, please contact me and I'll revert my closure, or revert it yourself if you can. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 14:00, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

This appears to be a poorly sourced biographical article, the only source listed being one from the quote aggregator "Fundies say the darndest things." I suspect this may essentially be a vanity page for a poorly known author. Radical Bacon (talk) 22:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I just want to point out that the 'Political Activism' section was added today by a FSTDT user after he and others did research on the claims in a quote posted there. Before that questionable section was added there were no references. --Imroy (talk) 10:50, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, I forgot to add that the only significant contributor appears to be the subject of the article himself -, , and possibly . In particular, the WHOIS data for the first IP address appears to show it being registered in his name. This is a clear link and a conflict of interest. --Imroy (talk) 11:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
