Revision as of 07:16, 23 February 2006
James Bowery
Dubious claims, may be vanity or hoax sannse (talk) 01:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - not notable, and am doubtful about the claims. --149.169.52.67 01:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - Misplaced Pages must Keep this article. Bowery is a very interesting man, a United States patent holder in rocket science-related areas, sponsors space prizes out of his own pocket, and spends most of his time researching and writing with notable acclaim and is very controversial, hence someone voted for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Better_Than_You_At_Everything (talk • contribs)
- Delete - He invented e-mail, PostScript, VR and chat, and he's the closest living relative to the Kennewick man? Should we also list every guy who believes he's Napoleon? Fan1967 02:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Even with the self-promotional personality described in the webpage he only has around 800 google hits, and only about 200 for google groups. Seems to be a highly non-notable self-promoting megalomaniac. JoshuaZ 02:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Abstain Try searching under 'Jim Bowery' instead; over 4000 hits for author:'Jim Bowery'. Bowery is a net.kook of great vintage, but he attempts to hide his history. This article wasn't written by him, either, but by his detractors (except for the small revision by JABowery). Since I count myself among his detractors, I abstain.

- Delete Just looking at his website asserts NN. Vanity article. --† Ðy§ep§ion † 02:25, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete: per nom. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:26, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Also don't forget need to delete his redirect Baldrson also. JoshuaZ 02:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as above.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Cyde Weys 04:37, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
