Vanity. Previous nom should have passed as a deletion. A sympton of WP:1E. Also sufferes from COI, as subject of article is main contributor. Thus, reads like an advertisement, and is WP:SPAM.
I redirected this to Jet pack but anon user keep undoing the edit. It is currently a redirect, but I suspect this will not last. Last version of the article is here smooth0707 (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Edit: all sources I could find on the subject are from his own personal website, or cached wiki servers. No reliable third party sources. smooth0707 (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: there are about 20 news hits discussing this person to some extent, including a few with multi-paragraph coverage or that make significant claims, and one in Spanish (albeit a very short one) that focuses on him exclusively. I'd say that's enough to establish notability, and to keep. Gonzonoir (talk) 20:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
*Keep: It may be more of a living biography. Possibly changing it to a biography templet will help. Either way, it has merit and notability. Please login to vote. smooth0707 (talk) 21:32, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Smooth0707, it's not requisite to log in to vote (though the rules note that anon votes may be given less weight). Gonzonoir (talk) 08:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps, but users (like anon above), with a vested interest in the article, (like anon above), should disclose such interest. smooth0707 (talk)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Delete Though it's close in my mind. There is a dearth of significant independent articles about him, beyond just referring to him doing a public event. It certainly feels like a vanity piece, and he does seem to be a one event guy at this point. --Ged UK (talk) 10:58, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I am in favour of keeping for all the same reasons as stated by Gonzonoir. Even if it is a vanity piece, is should still stay if subject is notable. (PS- is the blanking of the page [now reverted] vandalism?) Esasus (talk) 03:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It wasn't blanked...it was a redirect, so no. smooth0707 (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
