[edit] Roberto Bentivegna

Roberto Bentivegna (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Minor filmmaker. Lots of name-dropping, no real sources and few signs of actual real-world impact. Creation of -- and sole contributions of Emperorpasta (talk · contribs); PROD tag added, but removed by -- wait for it -- User:Rbentivegna (didn't see that coming, did you?), whose own sole contributions are this and adding refs to Roberto Bentivegna to Hotel Chelsea. I'm sensing a self-promotion campaign. Calton | Talk 12:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete and warn Rbentivegna about article spam / COI Eleland 14:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete way too minor for inclusion here. Sasha Callahan 15:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I have seen much worse entries on wikipedia that were not taken down. I don't particularly feel the need to defend my accomplishments with a group of people that I have never met before, especially since the accusations are low-blow and uninformed.

If the article does not merit a page, then it will be taken down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbentivegna (talk • contribs) 15:41, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

  • I have seen much worse entries on wikipedia that were not taken down - Please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS; if you don't mind, send along that list of "much worse entries [you've] seen" so those can be taken care of, too, as things get overlooked all the time.
  • I don't particularly feel the need to defend my accomplishments with a group of people that I have never met before - And yet you had no compunction about using Wikipedia as tool for self-promotion. Funny, that. --Calton | Talk 20:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I know Roberto personally and before anyone asks, he did ask me if I would voice my opinion here. An article about me was recently deleted here on Wikipedia. I am a published author, producer and many other things but still it was decided, even voted for deletion. I never realised how un-notable those things were until they were pointed out to me by the Wikipedia community. As I know for a fact that the work Roberto did was excellent I can't say his work isn't notable but if I am not entitled to an entry and you can buy my books in Borders or Amazon.com I don't suppose he is either. Just a thought. --SebastianProoth 22:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:VANITY. If the subjects in question were notable, then other people would write articles about them. The fact that they had to do it themselves proves that, for now anyway, they aren't. AlistairMcMillan 23:10, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice to see you again Alistair! I see you have found yourself to another one of my "pointless" struggles. This dedication must make you one of my biggest fans! It must make all Wikipedians feel good that no matter what kind of decision, just or not, informed or not, they make about deleting an article on Wikipedia someone like Alistair McMillan here will jump and cast his notable vote and all will be settled. The fact that you say Mr. Bentivegna wrote the article about himself when he didn't is yet another example of Wikipedia's deleting staff being incapable of reading the clear writing on the wall. As I have said before, I don't care if I have an article here on Wikipedia, I didn't write it and I don't really *get* anything out of having it. What gave and continues to give me pause was the fact that someone here believes that they have the right to sit in judgment over my worthiness of a couple of paragraphs about things I have accomplished. If Mr. Bentivegna is denied his few paragraphs...he looses nothing but a pointless battle with malicious and jealous "admins"--SebastianProoth 00:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
