[edit] Antonio Vernon

This page is a recreation of a previously Speedy deletion for being a non-notable vanity article. It has been recreated and still does not make any significant claims of notability. It contains no independent references. Delete Maustrauser 06:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete - G4 and A7 as recreation of an article on a non-notable person- Peripitus (Talk) 07:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, fails G4 and A7. --Coredesat 07:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, fails G4 and A7 as stated above. --Charlesknight 08:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - I don't want to speedy delete it because I think that Tony the Tiger is implicitly questioning the speedy by recreating it (he probably just doesn't know the rules). I'd let it run the course at AfD before just bonking it on the head. I'd delete because it's vanity and not impartial. - Richardcavell 09:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. -- Captain Disdain 12:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• What?? Are any of you from Chicago? Are any of you martial artists? TonyTheTiger 8:50 AM Central Time, 14 June 2006 I will be back on line by lunch to better make my case. I am going to make some minor revision. However, I think as Chicago's most prominent beach personality I may be relevant at the proper level. Then again, I may not be.
• I changed some details on the deadlift page to better explain an archaic component of my significance.
• Weak delete per nom. --Xyrael ^T 17:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This guy has done this sort of thing on several websites, and it is nothing more than self-promotion. He is only a notable person in his own mind. He just really likes to talk about himself.
• several websites? I have a webpage and a myspace page both listed on the wikipedia page. The only prior page was a webpage at the University of Chicago, that no longer exists for obvious reasons. As per self-promotion I would love to post the resources I include on my webpage here. If I could put my myspace video here it would be great.
• Several. adj. Being of a number more than two or three but not many: several miles away. You conveniently left out your hundreds of self-promoting posts on the Motley Fool inlcuding the ones asking us to come here and support you in this endeavor. Give it up. You stated it best yourself when you said "Apparently, I am more unremarkable than I believe myself to be." You obviously get it, but just like trying to buck the system, like when you continue to get citations for using dangerous weapons in public places and then try to argue that they are not weapons, but farm implements. And don't even get me started on your vast knowledge of "unwritten international law."
• Comment I agree with Richardcavell. By recreating its importance is being asserted and it should be send through AfD rather than speedy delete - by my minimal understanding of your own policies. However I agree its non-notable and vanity and should be deleted. 'Beach personalities' aren't in encyclopedias unless they're particularly notable in some substantial way. But if you want to maintain the integrity of your own policies, so you can continue to enforce them, send it to AfD and not Speedy. Just my opinion.
• I am looking up other minor celebrities and find it notable how high the wikipedia notoriety standards are. E.G., Kathy Brock Stephanie Abrams, are good examples. I will accept a decision either way but hope to be considered as long as Kathy Brock seems to have been.

• FYI, this individual is incessantly promoting himself on The Motley Fool message boards, much to the chagrin of users there.
• Delete. Kathy Brock is also AFD, and Stephanie Abrams has been redirected to The Weather Channel. Maybe someday you'll achieve notability so that someone else will want to write about you, and will be able to refer to external sources, but you're not there yet. BuckRose 19:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This guy is beyond annoying. The page was already deleted once. It deserves a speedy delete.
• Delete He went to school, he got some degrees. What's exceptionally notable or special about him? He's not 'the first afro-american to get a Ph.D' from some of the major finance schools. (A thing I find hard to believe that no african american has never gotten an Ph.D in finance from any of those schools, but its an unfounded claim anyways.) What's he done? nothing worthwhile. Vanity. Toss it out. Kevin_b_er 00:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete lol - again??. —Khoikhoi 02:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm beginning to think this guy has a real problem. Doesn't he understand that he is NOT notable.

• Delete This individual has been cluttering up cyberspace with this non-information. He's pretty harmless but also absolutely not noteworthy. Sad to see wiki being filled with garbage.
