Draft:Leigh Dorough


Resubmitted repeatedly but with no extraordinarily substantial improvements apart from the simple fact of Howie himself, hence notability is not automatically inherited. SwisterTwister  talk  04:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as absolutely hopeless after 6 tries. There's simply no independent notability that could be shown.  DGG ( talk ) 20:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. An autobiography that is essentially a CV with personal information?  Alternative outlets.  This should have been noted on the first try.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:54, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 04:08, 4 June 2016‎, User:C.Fred did the project and the author a disservice by draftifying. Read the content, for example "After being together six years later, they were engaged last New Year’s when Dorough popped the surprise proposal in front of 40 family and friends at a family New Year's Eve party on December 31, 2006 at Boniello's family home in New Jersey. They were 'very careful' to keep their engagement private, but have deciced that it was finally time to share the news, with their wedding coming up. The proposal to his 'soulmate' was carefully planned in a matter of days. Dorough says he looked at 'at least 40 or 50 diamonds' before he prepared his 'Will you marry me?' speech while he and an unsuspecting Boniello were on the Dorough Lupus Foundation annual benefit cruise, which was in honor of his late sister. So after getting permission from her mother, father and 92-year-old grandmother, he decided to play a practical joke on her by acting like he forgot to give her a Christmas gift."  This is first-person-sourced personal material.  It has never been remotely close to being suitable. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:02, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This is why being an admin is a lose-lose proposition. If I'd deleted it A7 while it was in article space, someone would have said I was doing a disservice to the project by biting a newcomer. Also, since that blockquote is a direct quote from a People article, it appeared there was enough coverage that A7 didn't apply. I guess I should've let this get killed at AfD six months ago? —C.Fred (talk) 17:06, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Given a good-faith opportunity to improve the article in draft space, editors (including the original editor) were unable to. I agree that it has now been demonstrated that there's no reason to keep this draft around any more. —C.Fred (talk) 17:06, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
