Created originally by a sock puppet, there is no evidence of passing WP:NCREATIVE, I can find no in-depth significant coverage of him in any sources and notability cannot be established by osmosis/working with notable people. Theroadislong (talk) 17:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who is to blame for all this mess so please listen to me before you remove the page. I had tried to add some edits a couple days ago. The edits have been removed. I am not talking about that right now. I respect those reasons and that's why I haven't tried to edit anything else. I am a different person to the one who originally created the first article and you are naming him/her a "sock puppet" probably because you think that I am a "sock puppet". We are 2 different persons.

... JPS doesn't meet the notability criteria.

(his name is often typed wrong even in wikipedia eg it was typed wrongfully here at the Forrest rangers page (I didn't write that either) and I had to correct it so that it can connecti with his page. This may be the main reason why a lot of credits and refferences don't show up with a simple google search.)

Thank you for all your time and patience reading this. Ratfae (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
