Timo Noko[edit]

I don't think that this person is really that encyclopedic. OK, he has a hobby that takes him to exotic locations, but if we had a page for everyone who did that we would need a lot more servers. Jeff Knaggs|Talk 15:11, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Vanity. Delete. Phils 15:52, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Same as above. Delete. Mailer Diablo 16:56, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. (I've changed my vote - the revised article establishes notability.) --LeeHunter 17:20, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless a kayaker could persuade us otherwise. (Even though he seems a million times more notable and interesting than Neutron Stampeder, which doesn't even exist. Oh, right, "Neutron Stampeder" appeared in a TV series.) Hoary 05:53, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC) Neutral; I really don't know. -- Hoary 06:59, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
  • Delete, vanity. Wyss 03:38, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I Dont Care, deleted Wikipedia page would be funnier and make an excellent point in Who-is-Who. At least fi.wikipedia is run by Juvenile Nazi Rats. by Timo Noko
    • That comment was added at 18:38, 2005 Jan 5 by 62.248.166.74 (no other contribution so far). Still having distinctly mixed feelings about the article (including the idea that a famously boring person who actually appears quite innovative is hugely more interesting and encyclopedia-worthy than yet more shovelfuls of Star Trek fancruft, etc.), I've tweaked the article slightly.

  • Delete, not notable, definately not a pan-european celebrity. --fvw* 07:41, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
  • Why?, I made an entry of the most celebrated Noko ever, black african named Ishmael Noko. This arcticle seems to have deleted automatically. This system sucks more than I thought it would. Timo Noko. ... added by 62.248.176.87

We pause our list for one moment. Look, IP number(s) who claim(s) to be and may actually be Timo Noko, the sole question here is whether Wikipedia (and not Timo Noko) benefits from having an article on Timo Noko, or more strictly whether this article falls in one or other of the classes for deletion. You may think that this procedure is more or less unsatisfactory, or that the rules are silly, but this isn't the place to express such opinions. Please make a username for yourself and use it; you can express your opinions on Wikipedia on your user page. Incidentally, the article on Ishmael Noko still exists. And now, back to regular programming. -- Hoary 11:52, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)

  • The Point. May I point out that the very moment I started planning this entry some corporate rat (of Nokia) started to vote it out. I really am not no-body. Very nasty legal action and revealing TV-show about hiring practises of The Company (Nokia) is pending. It is not all about me, two of the long-standing chair-members (of Nokia) have resigned right after reporters started asking questions couple of months ago. I am of course on a personal vendetta (against Nokia and associated persons) and may not be available, when everybody asks "Why?". This is why I would prefer this self-made encyclopedia entry.. --Timonoko 15:05, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Timo (or other interested persons), please see my response to this on your talk page. And now, back to votes. -- Hoary 04:14, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)
  • Delete. He is not notable here in Finland or anywere else for that matter. There are some Google hits because he has been quite active in the Internet, but not much more than other long time net users. He has been mostly touting his hatred towards Nokia in Usenet. According to his own homepage, he was fired from Nokia in 1990 for "continuously neglecting his duties" and has been unemployed eversince due to alleged world-wide conspiracy of tech companies agains him led by Nokia. Quite a sad story, but we must draw the line what is encyclopedic somewhere. Other reasons for deletion besides notability include vanity and self-promotion. jni 19:17, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
