Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Winset

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was No concensus (default keep) based on discussion about notability. If the subject of the article has valid complaints about libel and vandalism, he should go to OTRS or request office action via the WMF email channels. We can't be expected to determine the right course of action, from hearsay without specifics, in this AfD. JERRY ^talk _contribs 03:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIO1E One newsworthy incident, and other than tha, no assertion of sufficient notability over and above any college professor, which fails WP:BIO. Avi (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly Merge I agree on the WP:BIO1E, but I wonder a stripped down version of the controversy might have a home in the article for the college. Does seem like a somewhat noteworthy event and there seem to be solid references.--Cube lurker (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Originally this was on Emmanuel College's page, but IP addresses from the college kept removing it completely after a series of flames back and forth. Likewise, this article keeps getting vandalized; I've tried cleaning it up repeatedly, but someone seems to have a vendetta against the Professor. Probably best just to delete it, sadly, at least for the time being. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.136.137 (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep as a notable controversy. To start deleting articles because people vandalize them is feeding the vandals. DGG (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I tend to agree with the substance of DGG's comment. If it's kept or merged is one thing, but once we delete because it's too hard to keep it un-vandalized, then we've lost the war.--Cube lurker (talk) 23:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Note: Subject has complained about libel and Vandalism to the Wikimedia foundation. -- Avi (talk) 19:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
