[edit] Michael Bateman

Michael Bateman (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD; in the PROD summary, I wrote "No evidence of notability. Main claim to fame, 'Portable media operating system', gets 5 google hits that aren't copies of this article or of the patent application." These reasons still apply. An anon editor argued on the article talk page that it should be kept, giving reasons that -- if anything -- strengthen the case for deletion. Delete. SparsityProblem 18:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Co-nominated: Portable media operating system (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) --Dhartung | Talk 18:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this and Portable Media Operating System as well. Neither seems to have any notability at all. --Dhartung | Talk 18:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - neither shows any notability at all. Bateman clearly fails WP:BIO. The first two sources are letters written by Rob Tidwell, who's name is surprisingly similar to the creator of the article, too. The Portable Media Operating System only has 22 Google hits.

Which notability assertion is that? SparsityProblem 00:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
