The result was Keep, clearly. Plenty of valid reasons to keep, but actually Patrick Nielsen Hayden's input alone is probably sufficient. Tempting though it may be to further taunt the editor who rather injudiciously chose to challenge that, I think this is a valid application of the good old snowball clause.

It amazes me still that this article was able to skirt our WP:BLP policies so conveniently just 5 months ago, but try as I might, I cannot locate any non-trivial third party coverage of this person. Right now the article is pulling sources from Usenet, LiveJournal, and a couple different mailing lists depending on what time of the week you view the page. That is just unacceptable and fails WP:A policy as well. Burntsauce 21:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC) reply
Close Now? Seeing the unique situation where this Articles for Deletion discussion probably counts as a reliable source all by itself now, shall we keep early? -- Kim Bruning 15:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC) On the gripping hand... I wonder how many more famous/important sf people we can still attract? O:-) see also the talk page reply
