Jonathan D'Onofrio

Non-notable biography, fails notability even if he was, in fact, notable for WP:ONEVENT. The subject is a Staten Island teenager who got into some trouble with the law for throwing some rocks at store windows and breaking into a few stores. The author of the article attempts to add to dramatic value of the events by calling his petty crimes notorious and adding that the subject appeared on the front page of Staten Island Advance, a newspaper whose circulation of under 60,000 is limited to the New York City's borough of Staten Island. A Google search provides no other promising leads that would make the subject pass the basic criteria of WP:Notability. Also the article reeks of an attempt to disparage the subject. The author of the article (Sislander11 (talk · contribs)) has made no edits before or after this article. The image of the subject (Image:2zthwf5.jpg) was uploaded by the same editor describing the image as a mugshot yet still claiming himself to be the author of the image, a claim I find contradictory.

Delete Someone who spray painted grafitti, broke a few windows, was charged with burglary and got probation falls far short of satisfying WP:BIO even if the local paper had a few articles about the crime spree. Edison (talk) 19:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
