Strong Delete non notable individual, vanity article. Violates WP:VAIN WP:BIO WP:NN WP:VERIFY Strothra 20:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Notable as creator and producer of Rocketboom. My assertion, of course, being that Rocketboom is plenty notable. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rocketboom for that discussion. The short version is that it receives more than a little media attention [1][2][3]. Also, I don't believe that this article qualifies as vanity. So far as I can tell, the subject has not been involved in the creation or editing of the article. ScottW 02:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for the same reasons, and that Andrew Baron will feature in the future history of "vlogs". Gordo 10:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Many citations and references have now been added. I agree that Baron will be remembered as one of the important pioneers in Internet history. Researched and written by me, so not vanity. The Rocketboom people are so busy making their first million they certainly don't have time to hang out on Wikipedia. Pepso 17:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep With the recent boom in popularity for Rocketboom, someone who's this involved is most definitely notable. As for WP:VAIN, I don't see any conflict of interest with any of the major editors; the burden to prove vanity is on you. WP:BIO: look at the references, they're pretty big sources. WP:NN: that's sort of redundant with the other accusations you've made. WP:VERIFY: once again, look at the references and external links; they're all pretty big and reliable.
