Deletion of Levi Johnston

Comment: Johnston has become significant both for knocking up Sarah Palin's daughter and for his advocacy for safe-sex practices. I don't think this is really a , situation, but even if it were, the guideline does not say to delete the article, but rather to do a merge and redirect of the information with the article about the ''event'' for which he is notable. If that's the case, then someone needs to get to work on Impregnation of Bristol Palin. —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: This is a close call.  This is not a "textbook case" of , because Levi ''wants'' to be famous.  He's trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame.  But he still fails , because he's not (yet) notable.  However, if he were able to keep giving speeches to anti-Palin groups and doing TV appearances, he might become notable.  But for now, all he warrants is a redirect, which is all Bristol Palin has -- and, frankly, at this time he's not more notable than Bristol -- or even Trig Palin

Comment: The textbook case of . Just because someone has been In The News does not mean that we need an article on them. If I want to know what Levi Johnston is up to, I'll go read ''People'' or watch ''Tyra''. This is an encyclopedia

Comment: We're talking about a young man who practiced safe sex with his high school girlfriend (except once, at least). Take away the dubious notability of the girlfriend and there is no notability at all. No one would be interviewing him today if he had a different girlfriend, or if her mother hadn't been a candidate for vice president. It doesn't matter how many times he is trotted out for an interview, it's still just about the |one event. He also doesn't make a very good poster child for either safe sex ''or'' abstinence, since he didn't practice either consistently. Other than the value in bashing his girlfriend's mother's position on sex education, he has little news or entertainment value. Let's do him a favor and let him get on with his life

Comment: per . Not a public figure outside of this one incident. Somewhat bizarrely, Bristol Palin, who I would argue now ''is'', has her article redirect to Sarah Palin. If she's not considered notable enough for an article, there's no way that he should be

Comment: WP:BLP1E|BLP1E explicitly states it is for a person "who essentially remains a low-profile individual."  It was created for the protection of private individuals who have no interest in being public figures but find themselves in the news; i.e. "Peoria Man Accidently Mows Off Own Foot."  This isn't August 2008 anymore.  Someone who has been covered extensively by reliable sources all over the world consistantly for over eight months (it would be willful ignorance to assume coverage will suddenly stop), willingly appear on ''Larry King Live'', the ''Tyra Banks Show'', the ''Early Show'', etc. is not by any definition "low profile."   Some people might |not like the reasons this person became famous, but that doesn't change the fact this person is now very high profile

Comment: in the spirit of  (thus bypassing the argument about the letter of the policy). I have little knowledge, and no opinion, of the degree of coverage of his relationship with the governor's daughter in our articles on the 2008 campaign, but firmly believe that information about him should stay there -- and personal details not relevant to his notability should not be in the encyclopedia. Having a biography in his name would be bait for precisely that

Comment: For better or worse, Mr. Johnston is still a notable and high-profile personality, and the article more than meets  standards. Whether this is the case in six months is another story, and I suspect this discussion will have a sequel later in the year should the AfD close as Keep or No Consensus

Comment: WP:BLP1E should not be taken literally and should include those notable for two events, especially if the second event originated from the first event. This will probably not get deleted through this afd because, as is always the case with an afd whose subject is in the midst of running the Larry King circuit, the 's outvote those arguing for deletion based on actual WP guidelines. I would hope the nom, or someone else, renominate the article for afd a few months after the talk shows get sick of him
