Non-notable university student who works as a volunteer DJ and organiser at their community radio station. Andrewa 20:34, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment/Further info: Part of a complex larger vandalism, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/James Martin (DJ), and this diff, lots of other examples, and some good edits from the same IPs too, some of them at least are proxy servers unfortunately. Whether he is a ringleader of this, a victim or something in between may never be known, but in any case there is no evidence he's notable or encyclopedic. He does seem to exist, see the website of Source FM, and someone has created a userid which redirects to this page. So deleting this page is just part of the work required, and ongoing!

- Comment: Bill Bennett here. Just to say, I made the pages about me, James Martin, and Source FM originally in good faith. As far as I can see from http://www.metropol247.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2520 the users of Metropol247 Forums edited James' page because they hate him. My vote: delete the whole lot and have done with it :)
- I have moved this vote to delete by user 194.66.42.43 to a more logical spot. Thank you for your contribution. Please sign your posts here, and consider creating a userid. It costs you nothing, and helps communication a great deal. Andrewa 19:33, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: It appears from email contact that the person above is probably Bill Bennett as claimed, and is also user:Billbennett but they didn't sign on before making this post. See Talk:Source FM#Is this encyclopedic?. Everyone has gone very quiet since I refactored the intro to the Source FM article to make it a bit more obvious that it's just a glorified in-house PA system (which the article already said).

- Comment: Yes, this forum is implicated, as others have commented, and they seem well aware that we could waste a lot of time trying to sort out who is who. But there's no need to. The fairest thing we can do to the real people who are quite possibly innocent victims of this (although I am of the opinion that it does nothing but good to their chosen careers as DJs and that they would know this) is to delete as much of the mess as is unverifiable and/or unencyclopedic. I'd be fascinated to know whether Wikipedia is mentioned on the programs they host, and what they say about us, and I guess they'd love to have our interest, but again it's not something we need to know. No change of vote. Andrewa 20:07, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
