This is pretty much just a vanity page. Most of the edits are coming from the ip address associated with Poncho's school.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bickdag (talk • contribs) 6 April 2011

• Delete. Just because Alison Bechdel and Eli Pariser get Wikipedia articles does not mean that every Rocker does. Yes, we're all fascinating people, but Wikipedia's standard requires verifiability, not awesomeness. --FOo (talk) 16:57, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello, this is Poncho and I don't really know how to use this or edit wikipedia very well. I don't know if I'm notable. I didn't make this page but I got a lot of messages about it, and somebody from my school vandalized it extensively. The most recent edits were me removing personal information that I didn't want public, as well as blatantly false/insulting parts. I'd definitely support blocking my school's IP address from editing this at the very least, because any content of worth or note, if there is any and I'm not sure there is, would be vandalized away again rapidly. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by ponchopeligroso (talk) 6 April 2011 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.81.91.127 (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete. per A7 Completely unnotable blogger.
  • Please define the parameters of "completely unnotable" in a way that can be objectively tried or tested.

• Strong Keep. Peligroso is a well-cited and well-known digital word artist. Yes, some of these references are not keeping within guidelines and ought to be repaired, but let's not toss out the properly sourced citations and important biographical information contained in this article. At the very least, the decision on whether or not to delete should not be made with haste. If you see something on WP you don't like then improve it! We're all in this together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horse ebooks (talk • contribs) 18:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

— Horse ebooks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• "'Strong Keep.'" Between Metazen, HTMLGiant, NEWWAVEVOMIT and the few dozen blogs discussing, publishing and considering this work, it's notable. God, this "non-notable" trolling reminds me of everything terrible about wikipedia. --TheGrza 22:58, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep. Commenting exclusively on the fact that many edits are coming from his school fails to address the type of edits being made. Many small, vandalism-like edits may be coming from those ips related to the school, but please check the larger edits that have serious intent. This will show not only that this page matters to persons outside of his immediate proximity, but that those edits coming from farther ips deal with Peligroso as an artist, not as a peer from school. --Miracleatoxford (talk) 23:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)miracleatoxford[reply]

• The fact that many have come to vandalize this page further supports the notion that there is a significant sphere of people that consider Peligroso as noteworthy. To delete this page speedily without hearty discussion on the matter would be a blatant disregard for the democratic, pluralistic traditions so intrinsic to this website. --Miracleatoxford (talk) 23:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)miracleatoxford[reply]

• Speedy Delete. Non-notable individual, the majority of whose references are from his own website. --carpet —Preceding undated comment added 13:50, 7 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

• Delete - all of the references are self-published or blogs. No coverage in secondary reliable sources, so doesn't meet the wikipedia notability guidelines. A "google news" search found 0 results, suggesting this story hasn't received any attention from news outlets.--Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:00, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Poncho, sorry I voted delete but you don't meet the guidelines at the moment. Good luck with your poetry, and maybe you'll be back in a few years time.--Physics is all gnomes (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
