[edit] Doug Winger

Doug Winger (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

There are very few Google hits for this person (under 600 excluding Wikipedia), and none of them are reliable sources. No reliable sources are cited in the article. There are no hits at all on Google News. So: formally unverifiable, neutrality cannot be proven from reliable independent sources, in short: not notable per WP:BIO. Guy 23:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The guy did animation for Nickelodeon, surely that makes him notable.

• Delete, fails WP:BIO. Working for Nickelodeon does not make one notable to the standards Wikipedia requires in its guidelines for such.--Rosicrucian 22:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep Winger is, in my opinion, the best-known furry artist there is. I acknowledge there's a certain subjectivity to that statement, but he's almost inarguably the best-known furry artist among non-furries. In other words, he's one of the few--perhaps even the only--furry artist to "break out" and be known outside the furry community as well as inside.

• Comment the trouble is, not even the Nickelodeon claim is verifiable. There isn't much hope of bringing this one up to code, I'm afraid.--Rosicrucian 23:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Does not meet Wikipedia guidelines of multiple independent sources. Edison 20:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nonverifiable. Mukadderat 16:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Remove the Nickelodeon part if you so desire, but keep the rest of the article. The guy is living internet legend. Verifiability is overrated. Tchernobog 17:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Verifiability is policy.--Rosicrucian 03:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
