[edit] Comments

- Keep I say! It does no harm to do so, and it does seem a quite significant event. If Wikipedia sees it fit to keep the names and histories of all the different characters in made-up TV shows and other inane pap, I don't understand why its a problem to list this seemingly trivial, but fairly interesting fact.

[edit] Notability

I see him doing big things in his life (he's a fellow Morehouse alum), but being known nationally only because he is the valedictorian is a little of a stretch of being worthy a Wikipedia article. He made history at Morehouse, but we would see numerous new pages each year of valedictorians. Absolutely nothing personally against him (he's gotten a fair share of haters), but I think this article should be deleted for now. Any thoughts? D4S (talk) 23:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

We went thought an AfD for this article a week ago or so, and the majority said keep, so we'll keep it at least for now. He's already done more than some that have an article on Wikipedia, so what does it hurt to keep his?--Bedford ^Pray 03:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Please note above that notability issue has been resolved. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 04:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup
