Andrew Clemo

Page is allegedly about a "notorious gay rights campaigner in the 1960s". A Google search for "Andrew Clemo" + "gay rights" returns 0 hits. A Google search for "Andrew Clemo" + Slough (his alleged hometown) returns 0 hits. There are no references in the entry, and it has only one contributor, the creator: 212.219.8.187. If no one steps forward with true, verifiable, information, I can only conclude that the page is either a personal attack or patent nonsense. jglc | t | c 17:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) yes he is real, look at this site: [1] added by User:212.219.8.187, who also vandalised the initial poster's userpage

  • Delete - Sounds like patent nonsense to me. →Raul654 18:02, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - What do we know about the underground world of homosexuals? That isn't rhetorical if you feel like answering... Why don't we ask some gay people from Slough if they've ever heard of him? After all, we shouldn't be prejudiced just because he's led a weird life, now, should we? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.8.187 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 14 Jun 2005
  • Delete - Nonsense, possible personal attack. -- [User:FCYTravis|FCYTravis]] 18:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • KEEP This is quite possible true, so we'd better keep it for now. If it is a personal attack, who is going to be offended? I for one would not be if I were accused of sticking up for a noble cause. I think that you are all homophobes added by User:212.219.8.187
      • Comment: This user proceeded to vandalise my userpage. jglc | t | c 18:58, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Um, no I didn't— Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.8.187 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 14 Jun 2005
        • This diff says you did. --FCYTravis 21:41, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • Thanks. jglc | t | c 21:55, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • Well... I am in a large educational facility using the same internet connection, so there is a chance that it wasn't me, matey — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.8.187 (talk • contribs) 12:51, 15 Jun 2005
  • Delete absolutely: "What do we know?" Well, that's a good question, since all Wikipedia articles must be verifiable. Without verification, delete. Geogre 18:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. unencyclopedic. --Ian Pitchford 18:57, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, this seems to be a personal attack (see User:212.219.8.187's contributions and user page history). KFP 19:02, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Mateys Hello mateys, this is Andy! I was *sooo* pleased to be on Wikipedia. Please don't delete me! See you, mateys! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.8.187 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 14 Jun 2005
  • Delete. Probably some guys insulting their 'friend'. Google "Andrew Clemo" with no qualifiers get 7 hits, none relevant. DJ Clayworth 20:14, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - This page has already been speedily deleted twice - by me. Looking at the deleted edit histories it's someone from Winchester College taking great delight in posting false information about someone at the same college. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 21:05, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • As a second thought, would it be advisable to contact Winchester College admin with regard to this? If it is a personal attack I wouldn't want to have this sort of information posted about me. I'll put together a draft email to the college. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 21:09, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I have sent an email to the college. If anyone would like to see it please email me rather than leave a message on my talk page. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 22:02, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsense --Xcali 21:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete probable prank. --Etacar11 22:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete attack page. JamesBurns 06:03, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - repetitive derogatory personal attack - Skysmith 09:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - I am at the college myself. This is patent rubbish - I know the person to whom the article refers personally. I also know the person responsible for writing the article. Both are juvenile teenagers. Please delete without further discussion. --Nick Stenning 14:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Aecis 15:12, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, either invented or non-notable. Take your pick. Sockatume 15:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have received an email from the Head of ICT at Winchester College, confirming what Nick Stenning has already said about the poster and subject of this article, and asking for it to be taken down forthwith. He has also blocked access to Wikipedia from the college until the article and any reference to it has been removed. I am therefore using my admin discretion to remove this article from Wikipedia before the VfD time is up. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 22:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
