Very strong keep per my criminal murdering Armenian grandparents. Notable usenet personality still very memorable for those of us who remember the old days. He had media coverage in his day: Eye Weekly, a Toronto arts newspaper, covered him on July 28 1994. They'll be going after Robert E. McElwaine next. Unaltered reproduction and dissemination of this important information is encouraged, as they say. Fys. Ta fys aym. 12:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and cleanup. Google News does show that his activities attracted some media attention, some of which unquestionably appear to be reliable sources. Needs cleanup though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notability is well-established. What's with all the Usenet lore being up for AfD lately? Tarc 15:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep, well-known Usenet "poster". Corvus cornix 21:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep; you are joking, surely? Argic was a legend in his time. The nominator is howling in the wires. -- ChrisO 22:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - This is ridiculous. Of course he's notable. He's referencably documented all over. Georgewilliamherbert 00:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Misdirected packets / sent by Serdar Argic / man you should have seen 'em / posting MAKE BIG MONEY FAST. A legend, though not in a good way, who was responsible for significant changes in worldwide Usenet policy. Keep. DS 14:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Epbr123's recent AFDs of nine Usenet personalities listed on the Notable Usenet personalities page, and of that page as well, seems to be contrary to the multiple deletion procedure. The purpose of that procedure is to allow reviewers to see and evaluate the collection of AFDs as a whole. That is not possible here because Epbr123 listed all of these AFDs separately. We therefore cannot have proper context for this discussion. Jeh 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The snowball deletes at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Conrad show why it would have been inappropriate to nominate them all together. Besides, its only a recommendation, not policy. Epbr123 16:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Epbr123 16:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:POINT, WP:N, and WP:SNOW. --Cheeser1 03:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep well known enough to be namechecked in Ken MacLeod's first novel. --Martin Wisse 10:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Charles Stross too. -- ChrisO 10:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
