Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Podgorski

Michael Podgorski

User:Mpodd6 is requesting that this article be deleted, because he claims to be the subject and does not wish to have an article about him. Typically, such requests are not allowed if the subject is notable, but the subject is described as an amateur boxer and the article has no sources to establish notability, so I figured a discussion would be appropriate in this case. This is pretty much just procedural as User:Mpodd6 doesn't have a grasp of deletion policy yet; I'm not submitting an opinion. Leebo ^T/C 20:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The text near the bottom of the page seems to be lifted from http://mikey.esmartdesign.com/index.htm . I can't find a Terms of Service on that site, but copyright protection exists by default.--Mumia-w-18 20:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since that page is already listed as an external link, it's possible that the main text of the article could be determined viable while the stastical info is removed. Leebo ^T/C 20:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i don't know what you guys are talking about but i am michael podgorski and i just want this entire article to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.79.212.170 (talk) 21:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Please note that no one owns articles on Wikipedia, so no one has absolute control over them. This includes subjects and their Wikipedia articles. Articles cannot be removed solely because the subject desires their removal. The article must be found to be unacceptable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I believe you may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, so that's why I've nominated the article for deletion, not because you requested it. Leebo ^T/C 21:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i don't care what reason you have for deleting it. the whole article is false, i am michael podgorski and i don't want it up anymore. what is with you people, everyone is on a power trip.

Reply, I'm sorry you see it as a "power trip" but since we have no way of verifying the identity of users we cannot take such requests at face value. The article will likely be deleted and I'm helping you, so please allow the deletion policy to play out. Leebo ^T/C 21:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok ok ok, it just seemed like you were really making i point to tell me that you weren't nominating it because i requested it. i don't know all the rules of this site but all i know is the whole article is b.s. i'm not even a boxer i sell tv's at best buy. i can verify i'm mike podgorski just come by best buy on harlem i'll get you a great deal on a new sony plasma tv and i'll show you my id while you buy it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Have you considered the possibility of someone having the same name who is a boxer? Leebo ^T/C 21:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the picture the link sends you to is a picture of me but all the stuff written is false, i just want it off of here because all my friends are looking at it and teasing me and it's really embarrasing and i am trying to hook up with this girl MEGAN and if she see's this she won't go out with me and that will CRUSH me —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This kid sells TV's at BEST BUY. I bought one from him last week. After he sold it to me and old lady had her purse stolen. Mike found the guy and knocked him out. He looked like a boxer to me but that can't be because i bought a TV from him 2 minutes earlyer

Reply We can't do anything about the site with that picture. Are you implying that the Matthew Podgorski and Pete Podgorski are fabricated/about your family? Also, you do realize that this shouldn't come as a surprise; you edited the article months ago]. Leebo ^T/C 21:35, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You also made this edit to Pete Podgorski. Why is that? Deor 21:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

you guys are cock blocker Megan loved this guy now she thinks he is a boxer and that is not true

it's not a surprise, it's a surprise that you have a problem with me taking down a page about me that is b.s. to begin with. you want a tv or not?

listen to me you boneheads. i am michael podgorski, yes i edited pete podgorski's page, is that a crime? what i am telling you is that MY page is not true, and i want it down, is this clear or not?

Reply, so what you're trying to say is that you vandalized Wikipedia by fabricating a series of articles and now you want help getting rid of them because their intended purpose is backfiring? The discussion ends in 5 days, I'm done helping here. Leebo ^T/C 21:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i never "vandalised" anything, i was trying to make peace with the article but people kept messing with it. i just want the thing down, i told you i'd hook you up with a nice tv and your getting mean. do you wanna have a drink later, i'm free? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 21:46, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Like I said, it'll come down at the end of the discussion in 5 days. The creation of bogus articles and subsequent request for them to be removed is a waste of everone's time, so I'm done discussing it. Leebo ^T/C 21:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

you are right, lets just call it a truce. i just need this article down if it's not down it will ruin my life. i need to get some action if you know what i mean, and i have a feeling my boss is checking wikipedia and if he see's that i'm history, come on man be a pal help me out —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply I don't see how I owe you a favor here. If I delete the article out of process, I'm the one responsible for abusing my adminitrative tools and have to answer to that. You on the other hand get off with no repercussions for wasting my time. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned. Leebo ^T/C 21:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bro, you and me are the same, we're the SAME. do we not bleed when we get cut, do we not tire when we overwork. you don't owe me nothing, but you owe it to yourself. on your deathbed your gonna be wishing you helped out your fellow man a little more, and i'm a fellow, man. i told you i'd hook you up with a new tv, just give me your email address and i'll email you the best buy catalog for tv's for this christmas. i don't forget a favor, ask anybody about mike from mulberry st.
