[edit] Andrew McBroom
It is an obvious vanity page created by user 'mcbroom'. It needs to be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wihut (talk • contribs) .

- Delete and userfy If my threshold for notability was weakened by 90%, McBroom still wouldn't pass it. Fails WP:PROF. -- Kicking222 23:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete google finds very little on "Andrew McBroom", the only hit which might be the subject is a teachers golf tourney score. --Eivindt@c 23:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

- Weak Delete. The "presenter for the Discovery Channel" might provide sufficient notability if it were "frequent", rather than "occasional", and if it could be verified. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Delete I doubt this is a true vanity page; I have been to the school at which he teaches and know the man. While I cannot comment on the validity of the stated reasons for notability (i.e. presenting on a famous TV channel), I doubt that he himself has written the article. I am almost certain, in fact, that the page (and the associated user account) was created by a pupil of the school; a pupil who probably thought he was being undoubtedly witty and hilarious. And finally, it is not entirely unreasonable that he had, in fact, presented a television programme. As many have stated, however, this is not enough for an article, and he is as famous as several other teachers from said school. --Masud 01:46, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I am pretty certain he didn't personally create this page, and you need to take into account that the pupils at the school will continue to vandalize the page as long as it is here. I also don't think that being an occasional presenter for the Discovery Channel is enough to warrant an article - how many others have their own page? Paddyohale 09:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
