Daniel Elmaleh

Not notable politician, fails WP:BIO. Brewcrewer 07:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable biography. Political candidate from several elections ago who did not come close to winning a notable office. Outpolling a small group of other Libertarian candidates is not a notable achievement, and nor is being president of a local property firm. Links are not independent of the subject (political party website and self-published pages) and an internet search does not reveal any other claims to fame.

I am not sure why everyone wants to delete entries around here. If the goal is to cover any notable or newsworthy information then all of that should be here and we should err to the side of having too much rather than not enough. I don't know this person, but I know of both him and of Doug Lebda from living in Charlotte, NC so I wrote articles about the names -- doing some online research. I did note, before I wrote this article, there were references to Daniel Elmaleh elsewhere on Wikipedia so it's not like this is the only thing that references him. As far as the criteria, I believe they are a bit nebelous what is notable to one person may be notable to another. Again, I just think it doesn't hurt anyone to keep an extra bio on someone who may or may not be borderline. You will find press coverage of Elmaleh in The Charlotte Observer as well.

If you don't know him, how come you keep insisting that a content-free, copyright-infringing, WP:EL-violating site that he happens to run be linked from Wikipedia? —Cryptic 01:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

=Why do you hate that ACS site so bad, I found it when I was doing research for the Elmaleh article and I thought it fit with ACS. It seems like it has good content to me and some of the other sites use some of the same material he uses -- photos, etc. I am a fan of the game too and thought it would be good for people to see it. I think there is good content on the site. Sorry, I am new.

Further, your statement that you saw references to him elsewhere on Wikipedia is patently false; his only mention prior to October 8, when you, JamesTabField, and your IP began promoting him was on North Carolina General Assembly election, 2002, where I note that all the non-redlinks either won the election or are notable for reasons other than it. Delete, self-promotion, or indistinguishable from it. —Cryptic 02:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea who James is, but I share this computer with a few other people. Sorry. And, I think you are being rude to me.

I lived in Charlotte, too and this guy is a musician as well. An interesting enough character to have an article. I will see if I can find links to his albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesTabfield (talk • contribs) 01:00, 11 October 2007; this was his fourth edit

Please delete this. After learning more, this should not be here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.168.200.3 (talk) 02:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, all this is going to sound crazy but I think this should be deleted, too. Someone, who shall remain nameless, has been using my computer and thought it would be cute to write an article about me since I was using Wikipedia to write other stuff. He even went as far as to make some comments about some of my other posts. Sorry for any confusion I have caused. I guess that's what I get for leaving my computer out and on. Can we delte this quickly. I am embarassed for it to even be out here and I am sure it damaged my reputation on this site. Anyway, I am changing my password so this does not happen again.TunaWuna 03:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
