[edit] Paul Timmins
Non-notable individual/possible vanity Alan 02:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete & Userfy per nom.--Andeh 04:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't look like vanity, but it is a repost. --Rory096 07:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think the repost criterion counts when that previous deletion was a speedy. Let's have this run the AFD gauntlet so it can be speedied as a repost if it comes up again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MacGyverMagic (talk • contribs) .
- Delete. Autobiography, essay, interview type writing, meant to bring across creator's POV. No real notability that I can see. - Mgm|(talk) 08:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete autobiography, POV, vanity. Tychocat 09:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete likely the first person convicted not exactlly factual. avoids A7 by just about asserting notability but that notability is far from certain and is unverifable. Ydam 10:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete bio, nn Matthew Fenton (TALK - CONTRIBS) 11:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, part unsourced, unverified claims that don't meet WP:BIO... part POV screed. Article should be page protected against recreation.--Isotope23 14:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/news/article.php/3108461 has news about Timmins' arrest. This may qualify him for "The person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field" criteria if the field was wardriving or wi-fi community activism. He may also qualify as "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". The article is so badly POV it might be ok to delete and recreate however. hateless 17:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, if only for historical interest relating to wardriving. Needs cleanup. --Sunholm(talk) 23:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Vanity article, fails to meet the requirements for WP:BIO and zero references.--Auger Martel 10:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
