Sort of figured somebody would have made an article on this. Anyway, fails WP:V and WP:N, and I recommend that the article should be deleted until it gets some legitimate media coverage, or at least until somebody can figure out who "Donnie Davies" is and whether or not he's "for real".

• I talked to Davies today on Instant Messenger using the screen name he gives on his myspace profile. He appears to be legitimate. Please keep his page up and running. He is a compelling figure and I am pretty sure that this is not a hoax. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.213.55 (talk • contribs)

  • And there are lots of things wrong with using an IM conversation as a source. Thunderbunny 03:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete - MySpace is not a reliable source, it is a social networking site. --Wooty Woot? contribs 01:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete A7 (db-bio). Regardless of whether he's "for real" and contactable through IM, I, too, am "for real" and contactable through IM - and don't have a page beyond my user page. Then again, I am only slightly more notable than this cup of coffee on my desk. That said, the subject fails WP:BIO and WP:N, and any notability fails WP:V. Per commentary, Myspace is not a reliable source. --Dennisthe2 03:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. If page is deleted, I recommend it be protected against recreation, since it is one of those "Internet memes" that you know somebody out there is hell-bent on having a Wikipedia page on. Thunderbunny 03:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
