Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Slattery (poet) (2nd nomination)
There seems to be quite the effort to keep this, but we're not in the schadenfreude business, we're an encyclopedia. Our policies state quite clearly that we must source all material in biographies, that we should not create biographies based on a single negative or positive event in the person's life, and that we should not engage in original research or synthesis. All of these are true in this case unfortunately. This article should not exist in its present form, because there is no reliable way to tie one Slattery to another, no matter how much we try. And thus we're left with a |BLP1E. If the subject has been effective in covering up his footprints then that's the way it is. There is no single reliable source that says "Andrew Slattery, who used to be a poet and got caught plagiarizing material, is now a screenwriter" If we can't stop edit warring over the separation of the two, then the article should be deleted
