Notability

This page screams "written by the person or someone close to the who it is about". Is Syd Bolton actually notable enough to warrent a full Wikipedia page? Searching for the username "Gambacort" reveals several people from Brantford, Ontario, where Syd Bolton is from. Not only that, some edits are done by a user named "Sydric", which appears to be Bolton himself, as he has used that user handle on forums such as Atari Age. I'm suggesting that this page be deleted for lack of notability. 180.27.168.162 (talk) 03:06, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please prove notoriety, don't just remove the tags. Chris Weimer (talk) 15:20, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris Weimer: PROD is for uncontroversial deletions, so if anyone objects, the notice should be removed. WP:PROD says an explanation is not required. I'd recommend reverting your edit and bringing it to AfD. czar ♔ 18:38, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar:, Well, no one objected, they just removed it. Not sure if that means they objected or if they just removed it for trolling purposes, as no comment was mentioned. Still, I'll defer to your judgment. The notoriety tag should remain, though, on top of the AfD tag. Chris Weimer (talk) 22:44, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't necessarily disagree with the tags. However, removing the PROD without saying a peep is valid. So I still recommend reverting your PROD edit and bringing the article to AfD if you'd like. czar ♔ 22:47, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
