Hoax autobiographical article about a non-notable person... zero G-hits or G-news hits in regard to this particular Aaron L. Nelson... Adolphus79 (talk) 05:31, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I speedied this as a hoax originally because one would stand to reason that someone who has played in the ABA or was a notable college athlete would have some references about him. As such it utterly violates WP:V and is clearly an autobiographical puff piece. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:45, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any evidence that this guy exists. Even if he does, those claims to notability are pretty weak. That Chicago team has never received a single mention (outside of ads) in either the Chicago Sun-Times or Chicago Tribune! Zagalejo^^^ 06:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this doesn't appear to be a total hoax; someone named Aaron Nelson did indeed play in the IBL: [1]. Still, I don't see how this article satisfies any of the notability criteria. Zagalejo^^^ 07:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. Worst possible kind of vanispamcruftisement. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 08:43, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and you might want to see the article talk page for the author's response to this deletion suggestion. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Non notable vanity. --Cyclopia (talk) 11:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. Already speedied once. Hairhorn (talk) 11:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. When the best refs the author can cite are twitter, facebook and myspace, one cannot help but wonder...I think the snow's falling already. Tim Song (talk) 17:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. B.Rossow ^talk_contr 18:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
