[edit] Arnold Buzdygan

Arnold Buzdygan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Former CEO of small ISP, amateur graphic designer, Usenet user, probably Internet troll. Not notable per Wikipedia:Notability (people). Visor 17:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. There are more references on Polish Wikipedia that certainly seem to eliminate hoax concerns. Maybe an editor more familiar with the Polish media (Piotrus?) can confirm whether these come from reliable sources. Phil Bridger 14:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Not notable for sure, but his latest legal action against Wikimedia Polska will bring him some more notablity... still not enough IMHO. The pl: article had two deletion requests, both failed, I guess because of his fame in Internet. 89.171.112.254 15:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment'. I'm not sure, if I can vote, but this person is one of the most known polish troll. It's not a hoax, what can be proved by various links. What's more, this is first person, who have sued Polish Chapter of Wikimedia Foundation, what was widely commented in mainstream media. -- 83.29.143.251 (talk) 22:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Seems to be not a hoax and references in Polish Wikipedia article seems to be verifiable. However, the person still doesn't meet criteria of notability per WP:BIO, especially WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:BLP1E. As cited in BLP1E, Cover the event, not the person. Therefore, I suggest to include informations about accusation of Wikimedia Foundation in Wikinews, Wikimedia Foundation article or/and Polish Wikipedia article. His other activities such as being a CEO of small ISP, CEO of small company and Usenet trolling are unworthy to be included in English Wikipedia per WP:CORP and WP:BIO.

    • Agree.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 00:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
    • And what his political activity? A.J. (talk) 11:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
      • OK, I suppose it's not an irony. According to the article, In 2005, Buzdygan tried to start in the presidential elections, but failed to meet the registration requirements. See Politicians sub-section at Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria. He obviously fails all of its criteria. Visor (talk) 12:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
        • I just want to cover all topics in this discussion. Thanks for pointing this criteria: Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such a person may be notable for other reasons besides their political careers alone.

  • Delete or state what did this guy really do. Having been a certified internet clown is not enough to deserve an entry in Wikipedia as per WP:BIO. greg park avenue (talk) 20:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
