This is a rather bizarre article about a (supposedly) [REDACTED per BLP]. Though well-crafted to look legitimate, the article cites 7 references but 6 of them are totally unreliable - blogs, facebook and eBay (??). The only thing approaching a legitimate reference is a student newspaper article. This doesn't seem to meet biography inclusion guidelines but due to the negative tone of the article and the lack of legitimate sources or claims to importance, it's probably a living-persons/libel policy violation first and foremost.

  • A7 or G10 Non-notable person, possible attack-ish page. No reliable sources. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
    • I generally take a cited newspaper source to be a claim of importance. But the admin who rules on the CSD will have the say here. --Rividian (talk) 02:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
      • I thought student newspapers were taken case-by-case as they're not always reliable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
        • That's true too... the newspaper in question is not exactly the Washington Post. I really don't know and will defer to whoever deals with the CSD. --Rividian (talk) 02:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Gee, thanks, LOL. Dlohcierekim 03:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
