Don Bell (reporter)

This article does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). RMP 2584 16:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep user likely a sock of Spotteddogsdotorg (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) --CFIF ☎ 16:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per CFIF. Original speedy attempt was covered by a meaningless minor edit - looks pretty suspicious. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• In defense of myself, I found the [[Don Bell (reporter) article when I hit "Random article" and felt that Don Bell (reporter) didn't meet the inclusion criteria. When it wasn't I tried the next thing, which was the nomination. After I added it, I noticed that it had been nominated before, so I followed the instructions to nominate it again. It appears that the first nomination was not a true discussion, as CFIF accused the nominator of being a sockpuppet. From what I read on CFIF's talk page, he has a history of doing this to other people in order to keep his articles, despite the fact that Wikipedia articles are not owned by anyone! Isn't the whole point of the exersise that if a user finds an article that doesn't meet the established standards, they can try to obtain a consensus by having it deleted? Is CFIF's goal on Wikipedia to make it an elite clique where his articles are never deleted or to just attack the newbies?

As for my addition of Plantation (Maine) to all the Maine plantations, I not only created the Plantation (Maine) article, something that was needed, I went and added a relevant link to all of the articles, including at least one that was impoperly linked to Plantation. If this is the level of aggravation that is going to be typical of Wikipedia, then I don't think I want to be a part of it. I am definitely not this EDP named Scott Brown. Just because someone nominates some delete worthy TV reporter doesn't mean that they are part of some greater conspiracy. If anything I would say that you are all the EDPs for acting in this way. You people took something that was fun and turned it into some sort of sick and disturbed schoolyard scenario. On the schoolyard people like you had a name - bullies, who had their own sick and twisted pathology behind their behavior. And guess what? You people are acting the same way. You all would never make it as cops, since you would most likely arrest anyone without cause and do not seem to understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty - something that Wikipeida incoporates in its assume good fatih doctrine. God, do you people have lives or are you all sitting at home all day dreaming up conspiracy theorys? I am not going to waste my time with this, since judging by what you have written you are all seemingly suffering from some degree of schizophrenia with unseen people out to get you or things you think you own. I have dealt with enough EDPs in my life to realize it is a loosing and fustrating battle to reason with them. This isn't what I signed up for, so you win - I QUIT!

• Delete. I see a lot of ad hominem attack here, but I don't see any notability within the article or any obvious augmentation of the notability of thie figure when I do a search of his name and the positions he is said to hold. Erechtheus 21:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, doesn't assert notability. -/- Warren 22:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with WWSB. NeoFreak 00:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Note, he's actually employed by KYW-TV, would be merged with KYW-TV Anchors. --CFIF ☎ 00:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Considering the article is only one line, simply adding his name to the list of anchors would merge most of the content. If you look at the history of the article, it looks like it was created by accident by someone who meant to create an article on a different anchorperson. --Brianyoumans 01:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per CFIF. More information would be nice before seperating him from the Anchor page, but if someone can correct that by editing, then maybe a keep. -Umdunno 01:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Reporters, even anchormen, for a single small community is not notable. Mugaliens 14:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO as clearly non-notable. wiki article names him as "fill-in". Gsearch for "Don Bell" + journalist turns up 341 unique out of 1290 hits. Most of which are for namesakes (eg Vancouver politician, Kentucky journalist & candidate for senate, Ontario policeman). No sign of notable achievemnts of this newsman. I'd say that's probably enough reasons for deletion. Ohconfucius 07:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Aristoi 17:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with the KYW-TV Anchors and Reporters article, where this obviously belongs. RFerreira 20:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Merge I don't think there is enough to suffice an entire article to himself. TGreenburg
