Revision as of 23:46, 16 March 2006
The article John Bambenek was deleted after a drive-by bad-faith nomination who didn't even enter the AfD correctly (because anons can't start AfD's). You can view the comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/John Bambenek (2nd nomination) and at the deletion review here. For reference, the first AfD was less than 3 months earlier, the result was kept, and nothing changed except the subject was referenced in both the New York Times and Jackson Clarion-Ledger since the first AfD. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/John Bambenek. The subject has multiple REAL books published (which can be bought in paper form in edition to writing some of the certification material for SANS/GIAC. He has a few papers out there, including the only study that estimated how much money has been compromised by spyware. Notability is achieved a number of ways. There are about a dozen mainstream media mentions for his information security work. He contributes regularly to several blogs that reach over 5000 a day. He was referenced by the New York Times in a front page article. Namely, this suffices to meet criteria 6, 8, and 9 in WP:BIO. The deleting votes actually argued that being mentioned in the New York Times as an expert in computer security and used for a source in an article that had a global audience was evidence of non-notability. User:Tony Sidaway, not known for being an inclusionist, voted to keep the article because the deletion was absurd. 14 of his articles for the self-financed paper Daily Illini with a circulation of 20,000 have been syndicated (also generally considered as making one notable) according to Lexis-Nexis.
- The AfD should have never taken place because the original nominator didn't even do it correctly, nor had the ability to start it.
- It was an obvious bad faith nomination.
- The AfD should have never taken place because it was too soon after the 1st AfD.
- The notability of the subject is established meeting not one, but 3 of the criteria in WP:BIO.
- Many of the people voting for deletion claimed things that were not even true. The books were not online, they were paper, for instance. The Daily Illini is not a "college paper" but a self-financed publication that is entirely seperate from the University.
