Patrick Delahanty[edit]

This one is a bit funny, because it does fail WP:BIO, but the individual is an editor that I know, PDelahanty (talk · contribs). Of course, I have no clue to whether or not he has read the article, but I am sure he'll agree that it doesn't belong here--at least that is my take. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 22:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I kinda like it...and there are a fair number (and wide variety) of pages that link in. :) --PatrickD 22:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Come on Pat, we know you're an attention whore. :) Why else would you destroy anime toys? :P --Farix (Talk) 02:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless sourced i.a.w. WP:BIO by end of this AfD (no hard feelings I hope... just my standard quirk) Alf photoman 22:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Don't yield any" isn't accurate. There are multiple articles from major newspapers such as the Boston Globe (usually related to my participation with Anime Boston). You just have to filter out the guy in Kentucky.--PatrickD 15:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - fair enough I didn't see those, revised search. Addhoc 15:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Anime Boston per above search. Addhoc 15:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable, but I'll be checking out the toy-hurting site. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - ...since the page is referenced from a fair amount of articles on several different subjects. Also, I can provide more sources for verification if anyone wants them. I just can't add them to the article due to WP:COI. And hell...if Mike Tatsugawa and Richard "Pocky" Kim have a page... --PatrickD 14:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Add the sources to the talk page. It's as good a place as any to store them until someone is able to use them. -Farix (Talk) 20:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Massive Rewrite - I'm not going to insult Pat by saying he's not worthy of a Wikipedia page. But let's be honest, this article needs a massive rewrite to be NPOV and relevant. The first paragraph alone is utterly ridiculous. The Mike T page is brief and only states the facts of why he's relevant. I think it's only fair to give an editor a chance to make changes before going off half-cocked with a RfD. Kensuke Aida 15:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is a redirect? I thought it was an article. --Farix (Talk) 20:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
