Dom Passantino (2nd nomination)[edit]

Vanity, vandalism, nonsense Yaoichan 17:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - Vandalism isn't a valid reason for deletion, especially when the nominator is one of the people doing it. Phony Saint 18:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. - Phew, that's the first time I see someone adding questionable content and then directly sending the article to AfD... For the article as such: Certainly it needs improvement - no secondary sources, and that alone makes notability questionable by WP:BIO. But given the circumstances: Give it time to improve, reconsider it later. --B. Wolterding 18:58, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sending to afd looks like a hatchet job to me. Capmango 21:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep speedy keep in this instance due to obvious bad faith nomination. Questionable is quite an understatement to describe the content added. DGG 21:58, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Note" The only contribs. of the nominator have been this nomination & the vandalism to the article concerned. DGG 22:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It may indeed be that this is a bad-faith AfD nomination, but even so the article fails on its own merits to convince of notability. This guy's a webzine editor with only a few lengthy articles under his belt. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 04:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Dom writes for the Guardian. Jonathan Williams 17:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he's written exactly six pieces for the Guardian, none more recent than last September, most of which are very short, in fact only one of which is longer than a one-paragraph review (and that barely). --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 01:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above --Jonathan Williams 17:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per jbmurray. Obviously a bad-faith nom, but where is the notability? —David Eppstein 19:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; the notability is for senior position of notable webzine and history of writing for other notable publications. John Vandenberg 00:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment C'mon. He's in 9th spot on Stylus magazine's stafflist. None of the eight above him have WP entries. Why should he? --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 01:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If everyone who ever tackled a music review or was on an unpaid list of 'staff' on a webzine were listed it would surely make a mockery of notability. User:Trebuchet 13 June 2007.
