WP:BLP1E, anyone? Ironholds (talk) 21:58, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, he is also known as a graffiti artist as the article says therefore he is notable and it doesn't breach WP:BLP1E. MPEGLA (talk) 22:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  The article does not reference that. It does not provide any evidence he is notable as a graffiti artist, nor any references; if you can find some, add them. If not, read BLP1E more closely. Ironholds (talk) 23:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Very Weak Keep, generally, Big Brother contestants that are able to establish notability outside the house are allowed their own article. It's been longstanding consensus that BB winners are inherently notable enough to warrant their own article, and within a week or so, that's a likely possibility.

• Read WP:CRYSTAL? Ironholds (talk) 23:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete - Firstly it doesn't matter if there is a possibility that he will win Big Brother as such thoughts are clearly in violation of WP:CRYSTAL. Secondly since when does being a graffiti artist make someone inherently notable; from what I can tell he fails all criteria of WP:ARTIST quite handily. Yes, WP:BLP1E probably should apply in this instance unless someone can establish that this man is notable for some reason other then Big Brother. -Marcusmax(speak) 22:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Marcusmax, sources are trivial and graffiti artists aren't inherently notable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 22:53, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. There is nothing in this article or found elsewhere that indicates notability to support inclusion. Cindamuse (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:BLP1E. --Gyrobo (talk) 23:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete per above (vote changed). If he wins in a week, we can add it back. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 00:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as the only reliable references provided are talking about him as a Big Brother contestant, rather than him as a notable graffiti artist. If he wins Big Brother, then he'll be mildly notable. -- role^player 20:59, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note Article was created by a sock of a banned user, but there have been some contributions by others, so I'm afraid WP:CSD#G5 does not apply. –MuZemike 15:17, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - any faint notability is in relation to BB participation, fails WP:BLP1E. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
