"B.J. Averell" passes the google test as found in WP:BIO, with over 40,000 hits as of today. Considering the article was just created the day before, let's give it some time to get expanded on before it gets deleted, especially considering Tyler_MacNiven's page, his partner in the Amazing Race, has quite a bit of information. 205.205.200.238 18:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Since it's hard to find information, than this page should stay here, that's the point of Wikipedia after all. Jamesinclair 19:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Having come to this talk page from AN/I, I am copying here my reply to Maxamegalon's query, in order that a discussion of this article vis-à-vis WP:LIVING should take place here (Maxa and Hexa seem properly to have resolved many of the issues on the talk page of the latter, but it's sometimes useful that thinking be shared on the article talk page, so that others may readily observe what has transpired:
To this, I would add that the fact of the subject's running for campus office, and the disposition of the run, is likely notable; the minutiae involved therein is likely not notable, and so, notwithstanding that WP:BLP (my contempt for which I've expressed elsewhere) does not mandate removal, the exclusion of the info is likely appropriate.

I agree that the presidency campaign and description of antics is notable, both in relation to future antics and as a parallel to Tyler_MacNiven and his similar antics. I also agree that the details of said election are not noteworthy, esp. since the 2006 article about the 2000 UC campaign gets a majority of the minutiae wrong, which is why I edited them out. There are earlier articles that are more accurate, but again, the details of a 2000 campus election and its rigid postering rules are not significant -- Hexadisc 08:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
A few things.
I apologize for my lack of brevity. -- Maxamegalon2000 22:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
WP:LIVING says that subjects of articles can contribute through their own websites or blogs. Would it be appropriate to recommend that any information, such as the "Early life" section I recommended, that B.J. would like in the article be posted at his MySpace profile, which I just found and added to the article? -- Maxamegalon2000 02:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
