Seriously now. Not notable personality, WP:IAR, WP:BLP, WP:SENSE. Is this really worth all the trouble? seriously? No. The current DRV is turning into a farce the way it's going, so let's settle this "correctly", then. Delete. – Chacor 16:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Borderline notability at best, combined with massiveWP:SELF problems and the fact that the subject doesn't want it make deleting the better choice here. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 16:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Overturn and review abuse of WP:SNOW since I've seen it abused more than once in my short time paying attention to the behind-the-scenes junk. --Dookama 16:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • This is an AFD, not DRV. – Chacor 16:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WP:BLP, there are serious ego issues going on here in regards to everything. I used to love this site, but I'm slightly revolted. Yanksox 16:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no point in keeping for the sake of keeping. Also per my reasons on the last AfD. Majorly _{(o rly?)} 16:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• I ask that WP:SNOW not be used on this AfD (since it's NOT policy). Should still be deleted per BLP though.--Wizardman 16:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Just some guy who wrote some nasty stuff about some website that got mentioned in passing. This is not non-trival coverage in multiple reliable sources. We need to have WP:BASICHUMANDIGNITY, especially in the face of articles that appeal to the vanity of wikipedia (about us, our adminstrators, our process, or our side products). Ask yourself - how does this help our goal of being an encyclopedia about FACTS rather than an encyclopedia with the bestest political wars, and documentation of internet trivialities?

• Comment: how can we have an AfD on a red link? For one thing, it's hard for me to make up my mind if I can't read what I'm voting on; I have read the article before, but it's been quite a while. This was done very poorly; unilateral deletion was absolutely the wrong way to go about this. It should have gone to AfD first, while it still existed, not deleted outside of process, then put on DRV, then put on AfD as a red link. Everyking 16:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Google cache. – Chacor 17:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Regardless, I refuse to vote on it as a matter of principle. It is for the community to decide whether we should have the article, and then for an admin to follow through on that decision; in this case an admin has already made the decision, and the community is just being told to rubber-stamp it. The article should be restored and then the AfD should be restarted if this is going to be valid. Everyking 17:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
      • I completely agree. How can we discuss deleting an article that has already been deleted? What the hell is going on here and what are we being asked to discuss? --ElKevbo 17:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
        • There's been a request at ANI to restore the last revision. – Chacor 17:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete (or keep deleted, rather). Our usual arguments over the exact semantics of the notability guidelines shouldn't distract us from that "do no harm" bit in WP:BLP. Kirill Lokshin 17:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Doesn't seem that notable on his own merits, when viewed without the "ARRRGH WIKIPEDIA!" goggles in place. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Endorse Deletion, Delete, Keep deleted. I've encountered too much correspondence dealing with issues surrounding the Biographies of Living persons. It has never made much sense that we apply this policy to most individuals but disregard them when it comes to Daniel Brandt. I believe there are countless more notable people with decidedly smaller or even non-existant articles. Bastiq▼e 17:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: Even with nearly 100% delete !votes by now, can we please not close this early? It's just not worth the trouble. Thank you. --Conti|✉ 17:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Strongly seconded. There's no rush, so do this right. Trebor 17:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete For all the right reasons.--MONGO 17:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Concur with Bastique. I know I've taken a contrary position in the past, and was duly rewarded with a profile on wikipedia-watch (the picture does me little justice though, and is decidely out-of-date). A redirect to GoogleWatch seems sensible enough. I also join those suggesting that the debate be kept open five days or so.Mackensen (talk) 17:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I'm confused... this article is a redirect to Google Watch. What are you all talking about? Walton monarchist89 17:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Overturn There hasn't been any sudden *public* change regarding the situation of otherwise dubious-in-notability article subject (Oversight, WP:OFFICE, etc.) to warrant what appears to be unilateral behavior by one possessing the proverbial bucket and mop. Bumm13 17:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BLP. I am surprised that this article has lasted so long, actually. (jarbarf) 17:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
