Not a soldier

there's a blog post at his website where he describes in detail how he set up an interview with a person claiming to be him. this person also claimed that the jester was actually a disabled war vet. I think the reference to this in the page should be corrected. He's not a vet.

Proposal for deletion

This article is really not of a person who is notable or notable for short little known incidents. becuase wikipedia is not a indiscriminate souce of information, this can be deleted. Please challenge this proposal through the correct channels, ie this talk page.user:Purplepox01 18:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the references clearly establish this individual is notable, multiple major media organizations covered different things the subject has done. Monty845 18:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd have to say I agree with deleting. I had never heard of this, erm, whatever it is, before, and their most notable act seems to be attacking wikileaks. Unless it does something new and noteworthy soon, it was just a minor blip on the internet radar that came and went, having very little impact on anything. 97.114.141.119 (talk) 05:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are references to the New York Times, Fox News, Reuters, and the Guardian already in the article. That clearly meets the criteria for notability. Further there are reliable sources for multiple things the subject has done, so it cannot even be claimed to fall into the one event exception. I had never heard of the subject either until I read this article, but that is not the test for inclusion. Monty845 17:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
