Talk:Brian Sapient

Deletion?

Given the scarcity of info on Sapient that can't be found on the RRS article, I question whether this article merits existence. The editor who created didn't even bother to write a properly formatted Intro, or even check the one wikilink to see if it was spelled properly. Any thoughts?

User:Vsmith has fixed it with a redirect to RRS. Moriori 01:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that Sapient isn't even his real name (rather ironic that he thinks he's big enough to go up against God, but is afraid to publish his real last name) and that he's only notable for his involvement in the "Rational Response Squad", I think it's safe to say that he doesn't deserve his own article.

Then again, maybe a small blurb about him in the RRS article would be appropriate. There are some interesting things about him, such as his mother is a born-again Christian and he said he wants to have her committed for her "irrational beliefs".

Adding dirt about living persons that you think is "interesting" is not welcome. Reinis^talk 08:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "dirt", he admits to these things in one of his videos on YouTube. --RucasHost 14:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Sapient has probably been the most pompous egotist I've encountered in my e-life. That said, I would not be surprised if he started the article himself, or asked someone else too. My main point is that articles like this are purely vanity, and do not merit encyclopedic material, even if his mother was al qaeda.GravityExNihilo 03:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is not about our personal feelings about Sapient. "Considering that Sapient isn't even his real name"? What the hell does that have to do with anything? "Eminem", "Cher" and "Madonna" aren't the real names of those people either, what does that have to do with whether they merit an article? He doesn't think he's "big enough" to go up against God, since he doesn't believe in God. The reason he and Kelly conceal their real names is for reasons of safety. Pointing out what he's noteworthy for is a legitimate part of this discussion. The other comments are not. Let's try to keep it on point, shall we, people?
