[edit] Olly Groome

  ATTENTION!

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus among Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

Nonetheless, you are welcome to participate and express your opinions. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

Note: Comments by suspected single-purpose accounts can be tagged using {{subst:spa|username}}

Claims of notability but they don't stand up. Google search returns a grand total of 3 hits, none of which give any evidence of notability. Tagged for speedy at first but that was removed as I suppose he is claiming notability - although implausibly. Prod tag also removed. Spondoolicks 10:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

  • DO NOT DELETE, Although there is a humerous aspect to this page, there is also proper claims for its existance (1) the number of hits the video has received on google video - 117,000 results can be found for Brain and the McSheffreys (2) the wide popularity of the video, not just in England but Holland and Spain etc (3) To highlight the point everyone has their '15 minutes' of fame! - I can see how this page is fancruft but If you cannot see this atleast put the page up for BJAODN User: krispy1234

Olly Grome is no mere vanity hog he is a great young man, he has completely altered Bromley and south london with his charity work, his videos are simply stunning expressions of modern art.

  • Important Note The following comments were all deleted by an anonymous user. Please do not do this again. This AfD is rapidly descending into ridiculous vandalism, with all hope of debate out of the window if people are just going to go around deleting others' comments. Can we Speedy this completely NN and Vanity-based article as quickly as possible, please? Seb Patrick 13:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

  • NOTE Someone has been deleting defence of this article. Somewhat unfair.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ollywozere (talk • contribs)
  • Delete for obvious reasons, then salt the earth. Fan1967 14:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE Seems fair enough. Seen the videos around. Lots of results on Google.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ollywozere (talk • contribs) , who originally forged the signature of JeffJeffdyJeff . - Fan1967 14:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:V and WP:NOT for things made up in school one day. The lack of correct AFD terminology is helping to identify the sock/meat puppets here aswell Ydam 14:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Also the fact that the different ID's are editing each other's posts and signing each other's names. Kind of makes it clear there's actually only one or two. Fan1967 14:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
