Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Beckwitt
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was DELETE. The discussion has been relisted but there is adequate participation and no new information being added at this point. Many of the arguments to keep appear to have a common and classic misunderstandings of WP:BLP1E. Substantiated arguments for general notability outside the modestly covered single crime never materialized, leaving only weak and vague claims. Weighing the arguments with this in mind, I find a clear consensus to delete. Dennis Brown / 2¢ / © / @ 03:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Every time a new story pops up on the UIUC subreddit concerning the "ECE Hacker" a few throwaways pop up that claim to not be him but attest to the guy's genius and character and often drop non too subtle hints at his next big project — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:E00:400E:3DEE:3E92:36CB:F588 (talk) 19:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC) — 2620:0:E00:400E:3DEE:3E92:36CB:F588 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Personally, I do not believe that this relates to whether this article should be deleted. Uberaccount (talk) 21:22, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Besides the fact that he is relatively unimportant (his notoriety is very limited) the article has no other citations than the Daily Illini and the News-Gazette, neither of which provide evidence for the material in the article. Case in point, the article claims that the person in question is "known for presenting work on digital currency, anti-computer forensics and signals intelligence at computer security conferences including DEF CON, Shmoocon and Skytalks" while the linked reference (http://www.dailyillini.com/news/campus/article_1a22475e-66ab-11e2-b767-0019bb30f31a.html) has none of that information. Therefore, deletion is the proper course of action unless better sources are provided. Chimpfunkz (talk) 19:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agreed that the article is poorly sourced, but DEF CON is a major security conference, and speaking at it confers a degree of notability in and of itself. Article should be kept if better sourcing on security research can be found.

- I fail to see how adding <NAME DELETED> relates to anything, besides being another current cause celeb pariah of UIUC. Comparing unpopular hackers and unpopular <JOB OF NAME DELETED> is a bit like comparing kumquats and sofas to solve a mechanics equation. 98.215.9.100 (talk) 11:04, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Despite lack of major news coverage, the oddity of the subject's crimes clearly meets the criteria for WP:CRIME. While not on the scale of say Max Vision, this clearly falls under "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual". Similar to 2012 University of Pittsburgh bomb threats or Jonathan James see: http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2013-01-22/former-ui-student-arrested-computer-incidents-building-damage.html98.215.9.100 (talk) 19:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)— 98.215.9.100 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Keep I agree with 98.215.9.100 - there seems to be some notablity, and I believe that this falls under WP:CRIME. Regarding the comment by User:Chimpfunkz, I agree that said information is irrelevant and not noteworthy, but I believe that the other information in the article merits keeping, although shortening. Uberaccount (talk) 21:22, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- (ec) Uberaccount, I wait to see how BLP 1E does not apply here, thereby undermining the some notability it has based only on that event. If there are other reasons why he can be considered notable, I'm willing to listen to it. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 21:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteI would humbly disagree with Uberaccount. Under WP:CRIME, Criminals are only considered notable is, and "I quote, The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities." OR "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." Neither of these criteria are fulfilled. Therefore, this page should be deleted Chimpfunkz (talk) 21:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- It is fairly obvious that 2620:0:E00:400E:3DEE:3E92:36CB:F588 and HanchoBonsa are related to said off-site canvass attempt. Especially the former's totally irrelevant comments.

- I also find it interesting to not that the canvass attempt was to save the article, not get it deleted. Once again, I hope these above statements be judged on their inherent validity of the statements only. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 03:14, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, that was clearly a case of Reverse Psychology at play. The subject of the article is alleged to have posted in that subreddit bragging about his crimes, and enjoys very low popularity as such. Several members of said subreddit are also quite angry that the subject faced no jail time over crimes. It is fairly clear the idea was actually to try and get it deleted, without regard to notability. 98.215.9.100 (talk) 03:19, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I wonder how you can be so sure of what you claim. Once again, this fact of canvassing is irrelevant to the discussion (or all discussions could be bypassed by making such open canvass). Also, given how reddit works, a direct psychology work would have been much more likely to work, and lead to much more people giving their opinions here.

- The subject of the article is very unpopular on that subreddit, the post currently has 1 upvote to 13 downvotes, and way made by a throwaway. Seems like fairly conclusive proof of successful reverse psychology at play. Had it been posted to a different subreddit where the subject was not well known, by an established account, direct psychology would have fit occam's razor here. 98.215.9.100 (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is a textbook example of WP:PUFF. Subject clearly falls under WP:BLP1E, and is thus suitable for deletion. I also fail to see how the crime was in any way unusual, and don't see any reason it should fall under WP:CRIME. 192.17.144.57 (talk) 04:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)— 192.17.144.57 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Keep Subject is of marginal notability from computer security research alone, but subject's crime is enough of a man bites dog story to clearly fall under WP:CRIME.

- Strong delete and salt. This reminds you of John Bambenek another non-notable internet troll who had to be banned repeatedly over the course of 3 years and he STILL shows up to canvass for his page. All the more reason to delete this page and investigate all the keep votes as sockpuppets or this non-sense will never end.

- Weak Keep I think the subject might be notable under WP:CRIME, but not a slam dunk. I think there is a lot of sockpuppeting from both sides here. It is quite funny how the user above me chose to make a few minor edits to appear to be less of a sockpuppet.107.204.46.96 (talk) 20:55, 8 June 2013 (UTC)— 107.204.46.96 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Keep I argue this article falls under WP:CRIME, and does not fall under WP:BLP1E for the following reasons:
- The subject had some prior notability as a computer security researcher, but perhaps not enough to warrant an article alone I think this excludes from BLP:1E, but this is a judgment call. He was certainly not as notable as Dan Kaminsky, but speaking at DEFCON is highly relevant.
- The nature of the subject's crime is very unusual. Computer hacking incidents are rare, incidents against Universities are rarer, and incidents of said type without any involvement of grade modification or financial motivation are the rarest. UIUC had another hacking incident in 2012 involving hacking for financial gain that falls under a run-of-the-mill computer crime. The ECE hacker incidents on the other hand stretched over months involving an FBI investigation, had no known motive and paralleled the rare modus operandi of security actors like LulzSec.
- The nature of the subject's crimes are extremely unusual given the subject's research. The only similar case of a white hat hacker turned black hat hacker is Max Butler. A case of the reverse would be Kevin Mitnick.
- It is understandable why public sentiment may be strongly against having an article for the subject, as his crimes may have revolved heavily around attention seeking. Public support for his ultimate arrest was very high. And cleaning up the incidents involved a lot of manpower. Given all the animosity, I suspect there is strong WP:COI in many user's reasons for wanting this article deleted, namely as a punitive measure against the subject's perceived attention seeking behavior. I don't see how this is relevant to notability. Ted Bundy has an article, and he is certainly not going to win any popularity contests.

- delete* "The ECE hacker incidents on the other hand stretched over months involving an FBI investigation" This is not true. I am an administrator for the ECE department and I can confirm that this case only involved local law enforcement. The FBI was never involved. Whoever says otherwise is not telling the truth.

[reply]
- I'm sorry, but you seem to have no idea what you are talking about. I highly doubt you are an "administrator" of the ECE department, and if you are, you are clearly violating WP:COI. I've personally talked with John Bambenek about this case (who was ironically hired as a defense expert witness before Beckwitt pled guilty), and I can confirm the FBI led the investigation after four covert hardware keyloggers were discovered inside keyboards in Everitt lab. You are only correct insofar as local law enforcement (specifically Carter and Geis at UIPD) led the investigation until after the keyloggers were discovered in early January. As to Leitz31337 being Beckwitt, this is highly plausible as he apparently has some form of fixation with the number 1337.107.204.46.96 (talk) 20:55, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: As I said in my original PROD of the article, fails notability. No real availability of sources in Google News, Google Books, the Chicago Tribune, the Daily Herald, the Rockford Register Star, TROVE or Newsbank. If sources can be found to prove notability or a claim could be made that the subject is notable under some other guidelines (like WP:NSPORTS or WP:ACADEMIC), then that case needs to be made clear in the article. --LauraHale (talk) 05:03, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- WP:CRIME states -
- The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure - Not true in this case.
- The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.
- We see no indication of documentation for this event, nor any unusual motivation save the comments on this page that it is. Unusual is when anonymous hacks to find the online bullies of the girl who committed suicide (I forget exactly what the story was), not when a college student hacks his university campus computers. This is sufficient indication that WP:CRIME does not apply, and hence the article should be deleted. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Someone who barely makes the local newspaper? This ought to be a slam dunk. Let's have a brief replay of the key element of WP:CRIME for the sockpuppet horde: "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." (Emphasis mine.) The definition of "historic significance," explicitly, is in ongoing major news coverage. A handful of articles in the student newspaper does not remotely cut it.

Delete and ScorchFirst off, this is a renewed "Delete" because of not only an (apparently) new AofD, but also because of new and more relevant information. This article needs to be deleted once and for all. As per WP:BLP1E, Reliable sources only exist in the context of this one event (The ECE Hacker story). Outside of this, there is no evidence to any of the claims in the article. Second, he is unlikely to do anything else noteworthy. This is an important point, since the only claim to notability so far has been the ECE case. If this proves to be false in the future, then the debate can be reopened. As to the third point, whether or not the event was significant or has significance, this seems to be a different case. A simple google search reveals that the phrase "ECE Hacker" has more than 600,000 hits, with the entire first page being relevant to the search term (all the articles refer to the incident in question). However, searching Daniel Deckwitt only comes up with 37,500 hits, far less than the incident search. In addition, most of the hits refer to him as a person (facebook profile, mugshot, comments on websites) meaning that while the event MIGHT be considered important, the article's subject certainly is not. Therefore, this page should be deleted. At the very least, this page should be deleted, and a new article about the INCIDENT, the ECE hacking incident, should be made, with the subject of this article as well as this article itself being redirected to the new page on the incident. In addition, as previously mentioned, this definitely does not fall under WP:CRIME. In response to IP:98.215.9.100 (who shall be addressed later),Ole Christian Bach and Yves Chaudron exist because their crimes were noteworthy on more than a local scale. Ole stole and tried to sell a painting by Edward Munch, a well known painter, while the other aided in the theft of the Mona Lisa, one of the most well know (if not the single most) paintings in the world.

- Comment I took the time to review some of the newer sources provided, and have found that there is no evidence to him speaking at DEFCON 19 (his name as noted is not listed as a speaker) not at Schmoocon 2012 (the same thing was done). The third link, supposed eveidence to the subject being a phonephreaker, is dead and therefore should not be considered a source. It also seems that there is a tangible amount of biased editing going on concerning this page, since I have found that on the page List of computer criminals, a new entry adding the subject of this debate, Daniel Beckwitt, was added. A simple conparison of his alleged 'notable crime' to others listed on the page shows how little significance and notability this incident had in comparison to others listed, some of whom do NOT have a page. This addition was made by IP:122.169.81.51, with further additions/corrections made by IP:98.215.9.100 who has made many corrections/rebuttals on this subject. This would indicate a clear CoI on behalf of IP:98.215.9.100, and it is my opinion that any debate made by him should be disregarded as biased. I will be deleting and correcting the article in question (Daniel Debkwitt) as well as the other article mentioned (List of computer criminals) as well as be trying to petition a ban on the IP:98.215.9.100 for a period of time.

- Delete and salt: Lack of substantial and persistent coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. WP:BLP1E applies. Suspect that the high number of SPAs among the keep votes indicates sockpuppetry, and suspect that the sockmaster will try to recreate this article. Salting is advisable.

- Delete - I commented on the Yves Chaudron AFD and the nominator there, quite sensibly, withdrew it. I suggested, in my discussion with him, that this should probably be deleted and I remain of that opinion, though I am probably in the same place as Taroaldo in that sense.
