Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Syring
Per the AP wire service story and the stories by 4 newspapers around the world which were not reprints of the AP story. A bio article about this would seem to be a  since he was not a very notable State Department employee before the rants started, so per Wikipedia policies the article should be retitled to United States v. Syring as suggested by THF, to better describe the court case resulting from the defamatory messages. The facts that the indictment charges that the inflammatory emails from Pat_1425@hotmail.com came from the defendant, and that Wikipedia account Pat1425 was established March 8, 2005 and was used to edit the articles on Syring and on Zogby, may cause bad publicity for Wikipedia, but that has no real bearing on the AFD
