Please Don't Delete

Ok, thanks, I see that I cannot have the FBI contact on here, nor the man's vital/personal statistics. This isn't a case for the study of amnesia so much as it is an attempt to help the man find his identity. Guess that can't really happen here. Sad. I won't bother to try and replace the valuable info again.

Just leave it where it is, no harm is done and there is a small chance this guys family will discover this page, just let it be for crying out loud. anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.59.169 (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hear hear. There are plenty of far less interesting or relevant personal biographies on Wikipedia. Why not give this one a chance for a while longer? Uyvsdi (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

Hi Wiki people! I just stumbled across this page and found it very interesting. Please keep it. 64.95.190.180 (talk) 03:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No kidding. Honestly, i found it interesting to read about, and the dude HAS been featured. Being found naked behind a Burger King confers at least a little "notability" in my book. 72.63.191.203 (talk) 23:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how the notability is in question as he was featured on national television. --24.22.118.108 (talk) 00:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was an intriguing and important article. Please don't delete! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.193.211.18 (talk) 15:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who ever proposed that it be deleted is a douche! there is every chance someone could stumple upon this page and be able to identify him.62.30.54.79 (talk) 00:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this up for deletion? Its a biography of a man who has notability. I'm sure there are far less interesting articles on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.252.113 (talk) 00:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is something sadly ironic about the proposed deletion of this page. It's like if there was a conspiracy to insure everyone forget about this guy. So sad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.90.126 (talk) 01:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this. This is an example of deletionism at its worst, as if whoever nominated it for such wishes to delete this man as well. 96.33.85.197 (talk) 02:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete AFTER someone sets up a freebie "identify the amnesiac" web service. Which is kind of what's needed, because the guy's family isn't ever going to think to try to find him by looking for "Benjaman Kyle" in wikipedia. Although on the other hand, who'd think to look for long-lost relatives by looking through photos of people who suffer amnesia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.119.66 (talk) 02:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request a Benjamin Kyle disambiguation page. I was hoping to find this article, to see if Mr. Kyle had found his family, when I ended up on a page talking about Benjamin Kyle from Babylon Five. I was unaware there was more than one spelling of Benjamin. I have no idea how those disambiguation pages are created, and hope someone who knows how to do it would be willing to help.

What the hell?!?!?!

This reads more like a missing person's profile and less like a Wikipedia article! Check this out:

Appearance

Kyle is caucasian and appears to be in his 50s or 60s. He has a passing resemblance to actor Chevy Chase, and journalist Anderson Cooper. Benjaman appears to be of above average intelligence. He is 5 feet 11 inches (1.8 m) tall and weighs 240 pounds (110 kg).He has graying hair with a receding hairline, and blue-green eyes.

Not encyclopedic at all!--Crackthewhip775 (talk) 02:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it should be deleted, but maybe the article should be changed to sound less 'missing persons page', however that could be done. He is a true modern day mystery and it's amazing how he has still not been identified in this day and age, after having appeared on well-known tv shows, and in magazines and newspapers all over the world, and he is being discussed in so many places on the internet. I think this case is incredibly fascinating. It just doesn't fit in with our information society.

Picture

If this article is to remain it seems imperative that it have a photograph of the man. The last paragraph even mentions one of his hopes for figuring out who he is is by someone recognizing him.
