His 15 minutes of fame was up a long time ago. At best this should be a redirect to something to do with Letterman, but I doubt it is even notable enough for that. The-Pope (talk) 16:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep 132 google news hits[1] between 1996 and 2000. Once notable always notable. One of the primary purposes of an encyclopedia is to be a historical record. walk victor falk talk 00:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, so I'll expect to see a few of those 132 actually in the article soon then? Remember a key policy of this encyclopedia is verifiability of that historical record. Also re-read WP:NOTNEWS - 'Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion.' What is his enduring notability, considering that his article is linked to only one mainspace article and not mentioned at all on any Letterman related page?The-Pope (talk) 00:58, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - If the SF Chronicle's website (SF Gate) runs a story with "Manny the Hippy" as its headline subject with no further elaboration, dude's notable. Carrite (talk) 03:11, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
