Previously deleted as part of a multiple AfD, but has been re-created with a little more notability claimed. A minor MTV part, a few awards - does it have enough now? EliminatorJR ^Talk 23:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

This article looks like it does. The necessary corrections were made. It was already looked over by wiki editors and even edited and tweaked by some. The MTV part was actually the main part and he was the only person to make two reoccuring appearances. He was also the first african american to come from the island Kwajalein to write for it's newspaper and go on to be a filmmaker. The reason why this article was deleted because it was added in a clump to another article that was not noteworthy. At the time, I did not know the rules for creating articles. After wiki editor was nice enough to welcome me and give me the rules and guidelines, I added the articles that were truly noteworthy. So, it got overlooked like some articles do. I believe EliminatorJR may have overlooked that this article has already been looked at by other wiki editors. Now that correct changes have been made. It is a noteworthy article. Judging by the name "Eliminator" it sounds like someone's just a little deletion happy.lol. It happens. But, yes, this article is noteworthy. If there are suggestions for improvement then they should be suggested and myself or another wiki editor should take into account if those suggestions make this article better. So, I believe the deletion tag should be removed.JoeyC5 00:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Look here for where my username comes from! Having said that, I've had good dig through Google (this guy is very difficult to search for because the main character from Grand theft Auto is called the same thing) and given his appearances in two series of the MTV show - the article suggests it was two shows - I'll withdraw this one.

Then maybe the title of the article should be changed to his real name? He wasn't on two series for MTV, he was on one but made reoccuring appearances.JoeyC5 02:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the talk page you will see that this article has already been looked at by other wiki administrators. This article is constantly being improved like all wiki articles. It is a noteworthy article. If there are suggestions for improvement then they should be suggested to make this article better. This deletion tag should be removed. JoeyC5 03:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

keep - Elminator JR removed his nom. Please review talk discussions for the page itself and this talk discussion so, you can see the tag needs to be removed. JoeyC5 18:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete the article. As for CJ Johnson, he has a mention on the article page of the MTV series that he appeared on twice. That is the only point here with with verifiable notability. Everything else here is a list of accomplishments, but nothing notable. As we know, accomplishements in and of themselve are not inclusion criteria for WP. Notability from verifiable recognized third party sources is required. I stronglysuspect as well that there is conflict of interest at play based on the writing style/tone of the article and the contributors closeness to the article and the film that was eliminated under the multiple AfD mentioned above. This whole article is seriously looking like somebody's resume and not at all encyclopedic (list of high school awards???) —Gaff ^ταλκ 18:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

keep -No there's no conflict of interest. This is one of the first articles I wrote. The accomplishments are easy to find. It's not a resume. There are key notable points. He was the first and youngest african american from the island, Kwajalein to write for the newspaper, writing about teenage life on the small island. Then there is also the two appearanes on the MTV series. Everything else is biographical information. This artile was deleted before because when I first wrote it, I did not meet wiki standards. Then I rewrote it to meet the standards, following guidelines precisely. That is why Elimator JR removed his nom and other administrators have already looked at this article. Please read the talk on this article. JoeyC5 18:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
