This survived a VFD in 2004 (see talk) but I just can't see the notability. He seems to have gone to prison for his part in a riot, but beyond that? NB I removed the unreferenced prison allegations per WP:BLP (plus a lot of speculative psycho-analysis about his distrust of men) but if this is notable the prison stuff could be replaced if sourced properly. I'm also suspicious of the PD nature of the image. Docg 12:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Completely lacks context & notability. Blaxthos ( t / c ) 12:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I lived in Eugene, Oregon when the riot happened - it was a comparatively minor incident that attracted a fair amount of local press coverage, but died down rapidly. The anarchists (as well as the fratboys, fancy that) in Eugene rioted every year and tossed rocks at cops, nothing special there. I suppose I could find a couple of reliable sources about his conviction and incarceration, but this is a clear WP:BLP1E deletion. Skinwalker (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
As an addendum, perusing this cat[1] shows a large amount of unreferenced vanispamcruftisement. Emma Goldman is undeniably notable. Juha and Darren Deicide are not. Skinwalker (talk) 21:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
