Over opionanated blogger with no real importance. This web page should be deleted so as not to give him credit where none is warranted. Mrodgers2099 (talk) 11:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It seems that Mrodgers2099 has a personal grudge against Matthew Yusuf Smith, as they have disagreed about editing other Wikipedia articles. The argument for deletion boils down to the fact that the nominator dislikes the subject. This isn't a valid argument for deletion. Cullen328 (talk) 20:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have no particular views on this article, but I would point people to the comments of Codf1977 - a retired user - about the subject's notability on the article's talk page.--Mkativerata (talk) 22:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ambivalent: I originally requested a delete for this article, which was declined on the grounds that this guy has been talked about in many other places. If that means the article meets the acceptable criteria and it's not just self-agrandising, then keep it otherwise chop it. I can see both sides, so it should be a transparent decision made on clear un-emotive criteria. Greyskinnedboy Talk 22:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment After reviewing Mrodgers2099's contributions, it seems that this is a single purpose account which has been used for over two years only to make controversial edits related to Kesgrave Hall School, an article that Matthew Yusuf Smith has contributed to, and to closely related articles. Matthew Yusuf Smith is an alumni of this school, as are, presumably, several other editors who have participated in these debates. Editors are cautioned to stick to the neutral point of view and to disclose any conflicts of interest. I have no COI here, as I live in California and have never heard of any of these people or places until today. Cullen328 (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete, sourced to blogs or to sources which don't actually name the subject. Abductive (reasoning) 12:45, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Content puffed up by highlighting subject's blog sound-bite response to significant events. Award from one blog to another hardly helps. EEng (talk) 15:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
