The result was speedy delete (A1/A7). A combination of lack of context and a lack of importance. MuZemike 03:47, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing article, ostensibly about a man and his daughter who got their picture taken with president Obama. Not notable as a singe event. Drmies (talk) 00:03, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete A1 (no context). So tagged. Nothing in there. He's apparently a banker that was photographed with President Barack Obama, that's all I could gather. Almost went with nonsense. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:22, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete. Already tagged for A7, I don't recognize speedy declines done by IPs with no edit summary (particularly if the IP appears to be the article creator, which is how it looks in this case). Hairhorn (talk) 00:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree, but fortunately taking it to AfD is easy now that I am armed with Twinkle, so no harm done, I guess. Drmies (talk) 01:05, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • In any case, I'm the mopper who recommended AFD, as there are hints of notability. It was worth giving the benefit of the doubt to the creator and IPs and discussing it rather than deleting it. tedder (talk) 01:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete. Has the article been blanked? There's nothing left there that could by any standard be called an article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete and Prevent Re-creation In traipsing around the previous history of ther article and its creator, I'm of the opinion that the original poster is Mr. Murro, who is trying to commemorate his meeting of Obama. This is the fourth Murro-related article or edit in the span of a few days. The edits are about the only edits the OP has made. Pat Payne (talk) 00:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• I envy Mr. Murro, but speedy delete per nom. It seems like the creator is desperately trying to save the article by just throwing templates around without having any real understanding of how they work. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 00:59, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
