Make part of Crimson article

While Malcom is no doubt a fine president of the Crimson, almost every source written about him is a reference to his work on the paper or quotes him on a Harvard issue simply because he is the president of the paper (as is standard practice when major news outlets need to interview a Harvard undergraduate). Malcom's information is best included within the Crimson article.

I wholeheartedly agree. Mr. Glenn may be a great guy, but it's difficult to see this as anything other than an abuse of Wikipedia for personal gain. Wikipedia's policy clearly states that a person must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" if an article is to be created about them. Mr. Glenn is the leader of a student organization, and the article indicates nothing accomplished in that role that satisfies the above criteria. He is thus not notable by Wikipedia's standards, and this article should cease to exist or be merged with The Crimson's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.152.47 (talk) 02:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely agree. No dig on Malcom (a great guy), but for now at least he's notable only in the context of the Crimson. --En dash (talk) 21:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this article either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Academics, Biographies, Organizations and companies, Fiction, Music, Films, Schools, Web content, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable sources in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:EditorName (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make some constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case.

I agree that this article needs to be deleted because it truly seems like nothing more than a vanity page created by Glenn or one of his friends. Sourcing, etc. is fine but he's not in any way a notable figure at this point in time. If he does something worthwhile, then perhaps an article would be in order, but simply running a college newspaper is not enough.
