Gregory Zimmerman[edit]

A long, referenced article that unfortunately doesn't make any assertion of notability whatsoever, is mostly written from the author's viewpoint "I believe that there is....", and advertises his own websites. All the references are either blogs, his own websites, or irrelevant. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 10:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete His court case may have minor significance, but GZ himself appears to be non-notable. Brianyoumans (talk) 13:40, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete. Looks like a WP:COATRACK article that Zimmerman is using to push his arguments in his court case. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete court case might be notable, but he isn't. Also, half of the article (Linguistics/DNA) section is irrelevant to the article's subject and is almost completely unreferenced. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 17:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep This court case is highly notable and many people are unaware of the specifics regarding DNA sampling, laws regulating genetic code, and the legal format in which these things unfold. We must be less cavalier about the seriousness of this topic; when someone is willing to go to prison for life based on principal, which would be the result of continued non-compliance following an unfavorable judgment, in order to protect virtue and liberty by way of absolute Truth and peaceful defiance; we should allow that individual the courtesy of notoriety and speech while recognizing their strength and contribution to a stronger social and ethical standard. I have revised much of the page and intend on giving it more attention with updates regarding the Governments response, links to additional documentation and court declarations... If you see things that are "not up to par", please change or instruct me, I am learning from you as we go along. Also, although I'm a Wiki-Newbie, I will do my best to contribute unbiased, Truthful, notable, relevant content with intent to provide quality information. Thank you! BTW: I hope I posted this comment correctly. --Positivetruthintent (talk) 04:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC) — Positivetruthintent (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- First, I suggest you read WP:COATRACK. In the section External links, I cannot find even one link that discusses the life of Zimmerman. That should be the basic criteria for inclusion of an external link in the article. The article is supposed to be about the man, not the court case. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 20:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. I've tried to remove some of the more obvious cruft from the article but not much else remains and anyway the editor (who seems likely to be the same as the subject) keeps putting it back. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable individual. Tovian (talk) 15:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
