Biography of living person, including controversial subject matter, with no reliable sources. Claim of notability is in vague terms with no specifics. Zero g-hit in support of this biography. Evb-wiki 02:31, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Note: This article shouldn't be deleted. The only grounds for which are: The lack of sources, and the relevance of the individual. Both are on debate because of the individuals lack of media attention. However. All of the subject matter covered is notable, and important to the individual. None of the content listed is degrading, or controversial to the individual either.

Notibility is an issue due to the lack of sources; due to the sheer fact that there aren't many convering the individual. Yet. This doesn't constitute for the article's deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheActivist (talk • contribs) 02:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC).

    • Actually, it does constitute for the article's deletion. "Notability" means, in Wikipedia at least, that the subject has already been noted by multiple independent non-trivial third parties. If an article subject has not been noted by multiple independent non-trivial third parties, it's not notable and fails WP:NOTE. In addition, calling a minor a gay activist without any reliable sources whatsoever that he is even gay is a possible violation of WP:BLP, as we must not speculate on an individual's religion, sexual orientation, political orientation, or other attributes. --Charlene 03:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete If this 17 year old was notable, an activist, or a spokesperson for anything they ought to have some Ghits. Edward321 02:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, possibly Speedy, per WP:BLP. Were this young man actually an activist he'd be somewhere online, especially given the fact he's American. Given the lack of sources, I'm wondering if he really is an activist or (setting aside good faith) if this is someone's idea of a homophobic prank. It pings my uh-oh-dar just a bit too much, but it's not obviously an attack, so it doesn't fit G10. --Charlene 03:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete The article itself states; "Tyler is fairly unknown". Masaruemoto 03:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • speedy Delete no sources in the article, no sources that I could find on the web. If there are indeed sources, whoever finds them can bring it up at DRV if it does happen. FrozenPurpleCube 03:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
And it's been speedy deleted. FrozenPurpleCube 03:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
