Classic WP:BLP1E. Sources focus more in the event than on the person. The fact is that this article don't meet the criteria WP:NN. The person is "notable" because of one event and the "notability" pretty much died out once the media turned away. Other than this one event, there is nothing that indicates notoriety, with pretty much no reliable or independent sources that indicate that. Sources don't go any deeper as to point out any notoriety or if the repercussions of his actions were that serious. Article maily uses the website "reddit" as a source, wich is not the best, by far. Looks a bit like "WP:PROMO" than anything else. Coltsfan (talk) 18:03, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"notability" pretty much died out once the media turned away? Sounds like a WP:DEGRADE to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bugmenot123123123 (talkcontribs) 23:37, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
By coltsfan's logic Wikipedia should have delete a lot of ancient historical subjects who are no longer with us. How ridiculous! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bugmenot123123123 (talkcontribs) 02:59, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Again with straw man. The person never had notability to begin with, so there is nothing to degrade. The biography has no notoriety, nothing notable beyond this one thing he did. Doesn't make sense. Coltsfan (talk) 12:36, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The person had WP:GNG so his argument is partly moot. Did he read my compromise plan outlined here? Or did he has a serious beef with the subject of he article? If not, why he is ignoring both my and other's calls to halt 1 on 1 arguments for a while?Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also the wording of coltsfan clearly indicated an air of WP:DEGRADE, frequent goal post moving is detected. Possible compromise by his POV.
Strong redirect Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bugmenot123123123/sandbox for my compromise plan to accommodate everyone's concerns. Redirect the old article to the new stub article once I make the move on the latter. Thank you. Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 04:32, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and maybe redirect) Delete just the article "Cyber Anakin" After a very long deliberation on my part, I have decide to ask for a speedy deletion of WP:G7 since the AfD discussion is unnecessarily distracting me and everyone else from more important matters and had began to take a toll on my body. I would also cite the WP:SNOWBALL clause that dictates that it would be unnecessary to waste people's time if the AFD discussion is gaining a rough consensus. I guess that I have to assume a pragmatic approach regarding the matter due to the coalescing consensus that the article would have to be cleared at the very least. It seems that by this point the chance of the consensus suddenly changing is now approaching 0%. Thank you.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 07:32, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The reason why I struck off the redirect is hinted at the bottom of the page Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 12:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, rename, revamp and redirect or Keep, but delete unneccessary details Redirect I have made up my mind after doing my legwork to understand the conventions. The information itself should be kept, but the Title and the content format will have to be rearranged. Since per WP:DEGRADE notablity can only remain steady or increase over time, changing the page from a biography type to an event type can spare us the efforts of having to recreate a page from scratch again in case the notablity increases. This should be a viable short term and long term solution.I have created the reduced stub event article and now it is inside my sandbox pending a final move. As for the old article, clear the contents and redirect it to the stub article once I make the final move for the stub article.

This article fells in the first criteria for nobability: "Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail". More than half the "sources" this article uses is reddit. I rest my case. Coltsfan (talk) 13:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In that sense it seems that a major cutback/abstraction in the article content would address his concerns, as long as the goal post stays there.
That being said, from coltsfan's latest wording, details that sounds more like gossips should be abstracted from the article to address his concerns. In that sense AFD is too overhanded, since an infobox saying that too much unreliable source would be suffice.

Is this serious? Like, for real, is this an argument? "Star Trek-Star Wars rivalry"? Really? i'm in shock. This is a new low. Coltsfan (talk) 17:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Who can guarantee that we both won't get isolated if we turn this into a shouting match? And yep, you seems to have an obvious beef regarding this matter. User:MarshalN20 is terribly right about both me and you. I am just pointing a possible factor regarding your goal post changing behavior. Obviously the truth hurts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bugmenot123123123 (talkcontribs) 17:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No. You are making baseless and ridiculous personal attacks to me in order to discredit my argumentation. I work in articles all around wikipedia, in many different languages. What does that have to do with anything? This is a very shameful way to conduct the discussion because I never, at any point of this discussion, called into question your credibility as an editor. Now you can not say the same thing. This is ridiculous. Coltsfan (talk) 17:40, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I could have become hotheaded and jealousy if my place is swapped with Coltsfan's. Also I may have to opt for a kind of page protection to deter this kind of POV behavior if the article is retained for some reason. I don't think that 3rd parties will see any inconsistencies between Ockham's razor and the conflict of interest theory, whether both me and the hotheaded editor likes it or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bugmenot123123123 (talkcontribs) 17:33, December 31, 2016 (UTC)
If coltsfan didn't offer reasons that contradict each other and use the talk page to explain everything at the first place when he first put up the infobox onto the article, things might have turn differently, and his motives may not be called into question, and I could have began work to subsume the article into an event article. Instead, he chose to put up vague explanations on places like "edit summary" when he first raised up the issue. Thank you Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 17:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
From the Motherboard news report security researcher Troy Hunt confirmed Cyber Anakin's claims by saying that the data dump itselves is legiminate. I suggest subsuming the article into an "event" article, as outlined before.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 17:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I read the conventions and looks like subsuming the article into an "event" article like the Mevlut Mert Altintas case might be something worth think of.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 17:53, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think changing the article's focus from a BLP to an event is going to be enough -- for the simple reason that other than a reported claim, there doesn't seem to be a notable event, yet. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
With Troy Hunt's verification of his claim regarding the data dump, I think that the matter has demonstrated a degree of notablityBugmenot123123123 (talk) 18:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I realize you are new to Wikipedia, so I'll explain: Notability means something very specific on Wikipedia - it is not the same thing as important or true. Please read WP:GNG. One person confirming that something was hacked, and the information being covered in one magazine using information from Twitter, does not meet any of the notability criteria. Bradv 18:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The person may not be significat enough in overall, but the KM.RU and Nival data breaches might. As Shawn said, it's up to the question whether the said breaches warrant a data breach article. Now I am inclined to turn the bio page into an event page. Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 18:24, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The event may be notable if you can find enough coverage. What else is there besides motherboard? I would recommend creating a Draft article at WP:AFC and submit it when it's ready. Then this page (Cyber Anakin) can be a useful redirect. Bradv 18:28, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Is security analysis from 3rd party cybersecurity or telecommunications companies enough? Because I found this: https://www.cyberinsurance.com/breaches/kmru/ Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 18:32, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, the redirect option is already in my compromise plan. Maybe the title should be "2016 KM.RU and Nival data breaches".Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 18:35, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(Did you just reply to yourself?) I would say that will help, especially if we can combine it with some news articles on the subject. An article about the event is definitely more likely to stick around then an article about an anonymous hacker. Bradv 18:38, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nope I am just doing a fragmented reply. Anyways in the rebooted article most of the gossips like Rachel Marsden and the Olympic Truce would have to be left out. Also the hacks before the KM.RU and Nival and his Sputnik/Gagarin reddit frustration would have to be left out.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't misinterpret me. Being a Star Trek fan is not a conflict of interest. I suspect you have a conflict of interest, as you seem to know an awful lot about this Cyber Anakin guy, and aren't in the habit of creating Wikipedia articles about hackers. Regarding the article, please go ahead and create the article on the event as suggested. Regardless of how this AFD turns out, this content belongs on an article about the data breach, not here. Bradv 03:34, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I only find that the subject itself is worth to enter into my line of sight and follow up though. If my mind don't play games on me, I recall that before this point I have been using IP to fix typos found in other Wikipedia article. The "Cyber Anakin" article is the first article created by me on Wikipedia, just as a fact.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 03:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Since a redirect from the old page is within my watch, yep, the issues are related. As for my scope of editing with my account, it's called "niche interest". You may say that it is an excessive protective measure to stay out from edit wars, by focusing on one single subject topic.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 03:50, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Going out the topic for a while, Reuters had an article covering the ST/SW rivalry

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN0TL1BV20151203 This is why for me, the point of view/conflict of interest concern is a legiminate oneBugmenot123123123 (talk) 03:55, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coltsfan, next time please don't be vague on your reasons whether you do any kind of edits that might touch the disruptive line. Also I don't think that age alone can weigh how "grown up" people might be, since as I said earlier, I am living in an honor/face based society where the both are taken seriously and failures are usually frowned upon. I saw a documentary about hypothetical disaster scenario and survivalism (I think it's from National Geographic) where a scientist said that human nature are inherently unstable so I think grown ups doesn't differ much from children if compared with inherent human nature. That's why the political system of the USA is focused on checking and balancing against the instability part of human nature. America is already great in this respect, although I am afraid that this kind of system may not survive a Trump administration. I do advise you to maintain some kind of cultural sensitivity. Thank you.Bugmenot123123123 (talk) 13:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bugmenot123123123, this is exacly the problem: you are talking about Trump, the world and America nowadays, riveralys... You're tripping. All this discussion is about one simple article not meeting the standards for notability. Nothing more. Stop the nonsensical stuff! Coltsfan (talk) 13:27, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
