(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

article about a PR stunt; the contents of the article are all remarkably trivial. . The sources are similarly PR, but we don;t have to be another one of them.

delete a non-notable person involved in a publicity stunt.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep This article is about a notable event. This was not done as a publicity stunt. This article was created using numerous news articles (including some big name newspapers across the united states) about the subject and the reasons for the walk across America. I researched for hours when creating this article and believe that the many references I used and the topic and the subject are in keeping with Wikipedia's guidelines. My vote is to keep.

- We do not create articles on people notable for one event. This is a biographical article, not an event article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:19, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - This article is not just about one event. There is actually two events noted in the article. Hence the two sections titled "A walk for people lost in 9/11 attacks" and "A walk for U.S. service members killed in the war" And I do agree that the content can be worked on and added to as well.

Keep The content can be worked on some but still notable topic. -- GreenC 04:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep though article needs more BLP information rather than focusing on the notable events.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 15:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The ongoing Afghanistan memorial walk and memorial quilt seem notable, and there are sources. I think it could be moved to Afghanistan war memorial walk and quilt by Joe "Tiger" Patrick II or some such descriptive name, rather than being presented as a bio about him, but that is a proposal for the Talk page. Even with a different focus in the title, the article could include a section on prior walk and a section on bio of Mr. Patrick. But, for this AFD, anyhow, Keep. --do ncr am 23:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As the subject of this wikipage I agree I am not a notable person, however I humbly suggest the walks do merit notation as they impacted many during their completion. I have just now figured out how to add or edit content and to be honest have avoided reading my wiki and any articles found on the web as it is still "raw" and too soon. I understand the subject of a wiki shouldn't be able to scrub or direct content on their page to keep it correct and bias free.. but if I could suggest the creation of a page for "One Man's Walk" which is really two walks that might make more sense. I am thankful this page was created for me (unsolicited) as it enabled family/friends of US Servicemen and women who were deployed or on the memorial panel easier to send info/links ahead of the walk to other families. Hundreds of people saw the panel as a direct result of the wikipage and I am grateful. The walk still has a final leg to be considered complete, and that's will come after OEF is over and no more faces can be added to the memorial panel. Thank you for your consideration.

Tiger I for one am grateful for your input and thoughts regarding this wiki article and am hoping that we can get more input on this. As suggested above by another editor I agree that some additional information and I quote "BLP information" would be good. (BLP stands for Biography of Living Person). I will research and see what I can find that may be added to this article now that more time has passed there may be some additional sources out there containing information that can be used. I will also see if I can recruit some members to put there two cents in regarding this vote for deletion or keep to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
