User:Lionelt/James A. Forsythe
 This is a draft biography of a person who received a little attention when he was found to have failed to register as a sex offender and to be working as a clergyman. If the article was in mainspace it would not meet WP:N, and specifically fails as WP:1E. It was deleted once, in October 2010, as an attack page but the editor recreated it. It isn't quite a stale draft, but it isn't likely to ever become an article either.  Will Beback   talk    07:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject fails WP:N. Appears it is created in order to perpetrate false stereotypes of the LGBT community and is not encyclopedic in content. WMO Please leave me a wb if you reply 07:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:N, page creator's comment here suggests that he's hoping to use it to game the DYK system to disseminate material that would not pass article muster. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Wow.  That comment, just ... wow.  --j &#9883; e deckertalk to me 20:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:CRIMINAL. I've got to agree that the motives for creating this page are suspect. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 17:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, insufficient evidence given that he's notable enough for an article. Seems to fail WP:CRIMINAL handily. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:CRIMINAL, and after looking for additional sources myself, I don't believe it can be fixed.  --j &#9883; e deckertalk to me 20:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment would some of this user's other drafts fall under the same problems? Specifically, I'm referring to Homosexuals Anonymous and Bill Andriette, as well as User:Kenatipo's little article on a Palin Derangement Syndrome? WMO Please leave me a wb if you reply 18:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Not precisely the same problems, no. A very cursory look for sources in each of those cases suggests a better chance of those articles someday being "potentially valid", I don't see a BLP1E, GNG or SNG argument that makes it clear that they won't be. They may still be problematic for other reasons, particularly if long-lived (noindex is no guarantee the articles aren't being promoted off-Wiki to push a POV, which is part of why FAKEARTICLE specifies "short term"), but it's too simple to suggest that any of those three can be deleted on the same grounds that consensus seems to be building around deleting this one on.--j &#9883; e deckertalk to me 19:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment So long as it isn't indexed, whats the problem? - Haymaker (talk) 18:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:FAKEARTICLE reads Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable (the template userspace draft can be added to the top of the page to identify these). To the extent that editors find that the article doesn't have a hope of reaching the notability guideline, the article doesn't belong here, and deletion of userspace article drafts that are not going to meet one or another policy is a relatively common process here at MfD. --j &#9883; e deckertalk to me 18:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
