Apparent autobiography created by User:Dstrausser83, fails WP:BIO; PROD removed by creator. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep PROD was removed by creator AFTER NorthBySouthBaranof said on my talk page that I could. Also, this is NOT an autobiography. I am a relative, not him. The complaining editor is failing to realize the historic plight that David Strausser had to take for civil rights in Mexico, becoming the FIRST WHITE, non-latino, non-hispanic Binational Adviser to the Mexican Government allowed to represent the country to the press, both foreign and national. This is huge in a country like Mexico that is primarily one raze and ethnicity and was extremely rare and a huge accomplishment for the furthering of minority rights in Mexico. This article is short and well cited and ads to the value of Wikipedia. Dstrausser83 (talk) 07:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The user has the same first initial and last name as the article subject, the numbers "83" in their username correspond to the stated birthdate of the article subject and on their user talk page, they stated that they were a student at Penn State University, the article subject's stated alma mater. I didn't just fall off a turnip truck. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The keyboard activist does not realize that "D" can represent various names and are used for more than just David. Being as we are both from Pennsylvania and family, would it be possible, that we both went to the same University? Can you wrap your head around that before falling off the turnip truck? We are not talking about a small local school, but a top notch, world known University that many people attend, especially from the same FAMILY. That being said, again, I am a relative, with the initials of "D.S.". The 83 in my name is from the year I was born, as in 1983. My name? Believe it or not, it is Daniel. That means my full name is Daniel Strausser and I have followed my cousin throughout his career and I have been a center piece in motivating him and pushing him to reach places I have not because of my disability and he has taken me as his wing man along his plight. I will also tell you, there are 9 David Strausser (including my Uncle, his father), in fact, do a Google Search and you will find TWO different David Straussers from Pennsylvania that were born in May 1983. There are also 4 Daniel Straussers. Since you want to know so much about our family tree, would you also care for a copy of my identification? I will gladly send you that for all to see as long as I would get an apology after I send it for the false accusations. Also, instead of worrying who I am, how about you focus on the merit of the article and the historic achievements that were completed? That is what this is supposed to be about, right? Or did Wikipedia just loathe down to personal attacks and since you do not like somebody you are going to nominate it for deletion even after you were engaged for discussion about it to resolve any issues? David Strausser is a current civil rights and equality leader in Mexico that achieved the highest ranks of a non-Mexican, non-Latino in government and the founder of a ground-breaking charity that has won awards and is quite well known in Latin America and the tech world, I must ask you, besides your dislike for my cousin, is there any other reason he does not qualify? There are a ton of articles of civil rights leaders that have done what he has done or less and they all have their respective page. Please, instead of your personal attacks, please ask discuss the merit of the article and the accomplishments and references showing such. Dstrausser83 (talk) 08:02, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Except for some grammer, article seems relevant to me. Jackedhammer (talk) — Jackedhammer (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Delete. Subject fails notability test, creator is admitted WP:COI. An advisor to a state government Secretary for Tourism is not notable, even if he is a privileged white American male. Even if kept, this should be moved to userspace as a draft and submitted for independent review prior to creation as an article. Jack N. Stock (talk) 08:36, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Despite racist comments about this gent fighting for rights in another country, seems legit. Good references. I have seen much worse wikipedia pages with lesser importance stay here on Wikipedia. People really know how to pick a fight Seems like people with a beef have a political reason as to why they wish to delete, not a Wikipedia reason and are stretching the rules for their point of view. I fixed the page. ZerHeimer (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2017 (UTC) — ZerHeimer (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete - GNG not met. Sockpuppet antics are not indicative of a good-faith editor. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
