[edit] Daantjie Badenhorst

I'm not sure about this one. I clicked on it because it was a target of vandalism, and speedied it because it looked like a non-notable bio in its vandalised state. However, I looked down, and there may have been substance in previous edits. He's a South African game show champion, with one book published. Here are the GHits FWIW: [1] I'm not sure about notability, so I've brought it here for discussion -- Samir 06:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. If American game show champions are notable enough, South African champions should be too. By the way, I am sorry for not reverting farther back fast enough. I had tried to fix the vandalism but it went back very far. Academic Challenger 06:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep As per Academic Challenger. Appears to have authored a book too. Pursey 12:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep But take note of the edits in his "other" entry on Wiki. A lot of the information portrayed in these edits is true. Such as his disruption of the largest motoring forum, etc. Not well liked or known for his outbursts. If one has an entry on Wiki, it must be representative of the WHOLE person, not the bits he would like to be shown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.241.101.45 (talk) 13:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • comment it goes without saying that 'people on a motoring forum thought he was a bit of a tosser' probably would not be included unless it had been mentioned in well-regarded newspapers or something like that. There are other places for such things.Merkinsmum 14:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable--Zingostar 19:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
