Paul Mooney (blogger)

This AfD arises from this RfC. There was an edit war on the Paul Mooney page between editors writing about the comedian Paul Mooney, and an anon who claims to be Paul Mooney (blogger). The two pages were disambiguated, and this page has {importance} and {cleanup} tags. I have removed a SPEEDY tag once, to ensure the page could come here to AfD. No vote myself at this point: I'm bringing this here to help resolve the RfC. AndyJones 21:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, no claim to notablity. Flyboy Will 21:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I see your reasoning. It looks A7-able. However I don't think a speedy will resolve the edit war on the other page. AndyJones 22:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I would have thought that a speedy is more serious than an AfD, since a consensus isn't even needed to establish encyclopedic value. That other page I think should be dealt with via the usual channels, such as RfC, moderation and so on. I don't see how having the blogger article deleted via an AfD as opposed to speedy can possibly change that. Flyboy Will 22:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - P.S. And if the blogger page is speedied and he replaces contents of a legitimate article with the speedied one, that's easily vandalism that can be dealt with accordingly. Flyboy Will 22:32, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In the absence of the RfC, this would be a clear {{nonsense}} candidate. And there's no evidence of notability, so {{nn-bio}} might apply too. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The biggest amount of comments on his blog entires is 4; and all but 2 of the 20 blog entires on his front page have 0 comments. Unless other type of notability can be established, such as national media attention or major publications, he's a Delete as non-notable. Flyboy Will 22:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vanity and apparent WP:POINT. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 22:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vanity blogcruft and link spam. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 22:34, Dec. 21, 2005
Delete. I created this article directly from the original Paul Mooney history [1], and asked the orginial author to edit it, in order to end the content dispute. The author chose not to heed this advise and left it untouched, while continuing to argue on Talk:Paul Mooney. The article is non-notable, vanity, and an improper encyclopedia entry (to say the least). — TheKMan^talk 00:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Possible speedy. What a mess. Capitalistroadster 00:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Possible speedy. Totally non-noteable. Totally non-needed! KC. 01:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and padlock as there is evidence indicating that the edit war/vandalism will continue. I'd also suggest a two-week padlock on the other page to help abate the edit war. B.Wind 18:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I took the initiative to weed out anything not pertaining directly to the blogger Paul Mooney. The bulk of the article discussed Irish people in general and references to deletion and AfD - two of the links served only to demonstrate blog linkage, but there was no text in the main article referring to the blogging (I added "and blogger" to the one sentence that now remains). The third link is to the deletion archive history of a previous Paul Mooney article. B.Wind 18:37, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
