Matthew Richardson: vanity page of a young man who got his name in the paper for perpetrating an unremarkable practical joke [1] and being involved in student politics with a marginally notable person, Ruzwana Bashir. Wile E. Heresiarch 16:15, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

• Nice fluff piece but not worth of an encyclopedia article. - Tεxτurε 17:40, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
• Ick. Delete. - Lucky 6.9 17:58, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
• I think his bluff was a bit remarkable. He's also more notable than most vanity pages, and verifiable. No vote at this time. -- Cyrius|&#9998 19:34, May 18, 2004 (UTC)
• Marginal keep. Although it wasn't a controversial enough stunt to get him kicked out of university, it did feature in the British media. Plus, if he's going to turn out to be the next Jeffrey Archer, we need advance warning. Average Earthman 20:02, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, and decisively, not marginally. Everyking 20:20, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
• Keep - this is a good article about someone who did make fairly major news (it might have been a slow news day). Burgundavia 20:38, May 18, 2004 (UTC)
• Tentative keep. Beelzebubs 00:54, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Looks notable to me. --Starx 01:39, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems notable enough to me. Moncrief 02:05, May 19, 2004 (UTC)
• So anybody who briefly figures into some minor headlines is notable? Geez, I better get started writing an article about myself. Delete RadicalSubversiv E 05:43, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Daily Telegraph is enough for his glory for now. Mikkalai 20:35, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. A minor headline on a slow newsday, and the rest is the sort of stuff that has featured on previous deleted pages. Timrollpickering 09:35, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
