Michael Swann

Not notable. Article is perhaps even vanity. I can't find anything about him. Posted by Casito

• He has become quite well known as part of an emergent sub-culture. Certainly the magazine for which he writes exists, and they mention him on their site. He was on the radio last week being interviewed about TV turn off week. He's been on quite a lot of radio recently, in fact and I've read some of his more serious political stuff in a number of magazine.

I'd vote for it to stay, perhaps without the quotes though, that seems like a bit of preaching on the part of the poster. Posted by User:dandyfop

• Delete, notability not established, possible vanity. Megan1967 05:14, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No third party sources, thus seems not notable and vanity. Zzyzx11 | Talk 05:18, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Some of the article is absurd, but Googling on "Michael Molyneux Swann" reveals that he does exist and does write for The Chap Magazine. FreplySpang (talk) 05:21, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Existence is not the same thing as notability. RickK 19:54, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Overlong, often not encyclopedic in style, contains unverifiable claims. Anything that would be kept would require citations. Average Earthman 22:30, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity/promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:05, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a... um... oh forget it, vote as above. Master Thief Garrett 21:50, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
