Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pariah Burke
These situations are always potentially awkward.  I believe that  exists to protect the  subject as much as it exists to protect the project.  Perhaps even more so.  In a situation like this one, the subject places himself in the awkward position of having to argue for his own notability.  Meanwhile, those who are working from the perspective of policies and guidelines are placed in the awkward position of having to explain to a person why he or she is not notable by WP standards.  There can hardly be anything more personal, even in a situation such as this one where there is nothing at all personal about it.  Cases like these serve as reminders as to why we have  and  policies to begin with.  I hope that Mr. Burke will take all of these concerns into consideration as he reads the comments of the half-dozen people who have called for this article to be deleted
