This article has been deleted five times under WP:PROD or WP:CSD. I'm nominating it mainly to settle the issue, as people are edit-warring about whether to remove the PROD tags that have once again accumulated (no, this doesn't make sense to me, either).

I'm not really sure whether we should just delete this or try and clean it up. On one hand, the guy has a surprising amount of press coverage about whatever it is he does (see this older version), but on the other hand, none of it seems to indicate substantial notability under WP:BIO. More to the point, it still reads like an advertisement in this last incarnation, and judging from the history, it would need someone really perseverant to try and make this into an encyclopedic biographical article.

• Delete I agree with the points made by the nominator, but would like to throw WP:AUTO into the ring also.--cj | talk 12:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above comments. Reading vanity articles and advertising like this makes me want to go and wash my hands. WMMartin 21:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He's a 22-year old who has organized ONE conference/festival/whatever so far, per this, with a second scheduled for 2007 (per an external link in the article). All of the other external links in the article are to work he did as a member of an organization (Connect UK), some back as far as 2001 - when he was 15 and (I think this is obvious) not in charge of anything at all. With less than 300 google hits, I think it's safe to kill this article. Perhaps an administrator could salt it so that it's impossible to recreate without subsequent administrator approval?
