Fails our biographical notability criteria, general notability criteria and actor notability criteria. All the sources are 1 sentence mentions except the article from his local paper of his home town. Contributors have been asked to add more sources so it passes Wikipedia's notability criteria, but have failed to do so. Otterathome (talk) 19:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article already passes the general notability guideline, and the previous AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jackson Davis (2nd nomination)) was less than a month ago. -- Eastmain (talk) 20:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd love to know how it passes the general notability guideline. Already nominated isn't a reason see WP:NOTAGAIN, and the closing admin suggested nothing wrong in relisting it again at the deletion review.--Otterathome (talk) 10:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No indication that evidence of the subject's notability has changed over the last 16 days or that consensus has changed in the 16 days since the prior AFD closed. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk • contribs) 21:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Otterathome appears to have a personal vendetta against lonelygirl15 related articles. I don't say that lightly, as I understand the assumption of good faith for wikipedia. I presume Otterthome makes substantive contributions to other parts of wikipedia. But here's the deal for this article: The last AFD was closed only 16 days ago. When closing the AfD, Pastor Theo wrote: "The article's supporters are invited to strengthen its text, while those who favor deletion are welcome to revisit this subject later in the year if the article has seen no substantial improvements." "Later in the year" is not 16 days by any good faith understanding. Furthermore, after the 2nd AfD was not successful, Otterathome immediately requested a deletion review, which was only closed seven days ago. During these debates, Otterathome falsely claimed that I was part of the lonelygirl15 team to try to invent a conflict of interest, based on some parody vids I have uploaded on youtube. That claim was, if not intentionally malicious, at least indicative that s/he is not examining the subject matter and information around it closely enough to be making serial AfDs. Lastly, there is a current Wikiquette alert outstanding against Otterathome regarding his edits in this area, that provides more detail about all this.--Milowent (talk) 21:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Already nominated isn't a reason see WP:NOTAGAIN, and the closing admin suggested nothing wrong in relisting it again at the deletion review. I didn't falsely claim anything, and so what there's a Wikiquette alert on me? Two people have already responded to it stating I had done nothing wrong. Here's a somewhat amusing quote from it: "My advice to Otterathome is, if you find it impossible to deal with the kid stuff calmly and patiently, just stay away from it. Nobody reads it except kids anyway, and it keeps them away from more important articles until they mature a bit. Kids have a very skewed view of notability, but getting into holy wars about it is just a waste of time.".--Otterathome (talk) 10:38, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: What has it been a week, since this matter was resolved? Let's see Lonelygirl15 is still notable, Jackson Davis was still a major part of it, so what has changed? I don't get it. Mathieas (talk) 23:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Already nominated isn't a reason see WP:NOTAGAIN, and the closing admin suggested nothing wrong in relisting it again at the deletion review. Nobody is disputing the notability of lonelygirl15, actors notable for one show is a WP:BIO1E which is shown by the serious lack of sources.--Otterathome (talk) 10:19, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is clearly a personal vendetta by an individual who has little respect for the wikipedia process or the web series genre of entertainment in general. It needs to end now because it just takes away from the valuable time needed to research and build pages. It would be helpful if the senior admins at wikipedia did the right thing here and informed this individual that they need to be more respectful of the broader wiki community and stop posting these intrusive and disruptive deletion notices which are clearly motivated by a personal bias against the web series genre in general rather than any well founded and coherent argument. If wikipedia wants to retain their author base they need to put a swift and decisive end to such practices before it is too late. Too much damage has been done already by this individual and I call on the head admins to take action now to prevent it from continuing in the future.--Modelmotion (talk) 23:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- None of that seems to have anything to do with the notability of the article, read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion to see how to participate properly.--Otterathome (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see absolutely no reason that the page needs to be deleted 16 days after the prior discussion was closed. In the interest of moving this along though, I have added a number of additional sources to the page. --Zoeydahling (talk) 05:54, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Already nominated isn't a reason see WP:NOTAGAIN, and the closing admin suggested nothing wrong in relisting it again at the deletion review. Thank you for adding 7 more sources, here's are my reasons why they don't contribute to the notability of the article. 5. Gregory Mantell is a non-notable webshow YouTube channel interview with a number of people including him. 8. Is from eqal.com which is not independant of the subject. 9. & 10. are just links to music videos he supposedly had minor appearances in. 11. Appears to suggest he hosted a non-notable amatuer comedy show. 12. & 13. More minor appearances in non-notable webshows. So all in all, just more minor stuff.--Otterathome (talk) 10:30, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
