- Mitch Thrower (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Probably a non-notable person. Article makes lots of extraneous claims typical of notability padding (his mother used to carpool with Jackie O. and his dad invented the WPIX Yule log). I removed most of this stuff focusing on why he might be notable but this remains a BLP with no sources other than the guy's own blogs. Thatcher131 20:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The closest thing to actual notability here are his minor appearences on a couple of reality shows, which isn't much. A large portions of the edits come from the subject himself, raising autobigraphical and conflict of interest concerns. Looking at the edit history and talk pages of all concerned (yes, including the alleged vandal, Rwilco201), it appears that the other primary editor is also associated closely with the subject. It is considered bad form to write about oneself here, or to have some do it for you. DarkAudit 21:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep as founder of a 20-year-old magazine and of active.com, a well-ranked fitness website, he should be sourceable. Needs cleanup & attribution. --Dhartung | Talk 21:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete – The website is notable; he is not. Has written one article for the San Diego Business Journal. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 22:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - is ok with user who the post is about! This is Mitch Thrower - you can confirm it by Googling me, then sending me an e-mail and I will respond to confirm. Or, if you are in fact a power wikiuser, you can call me anytime (my phone number is easily accessable on the web). It would be better for me if the page written about me on Wiki is deleted. For the record, User:Emilyashland had inside information. I did not approve of her posting the information to Wiki - but the stuff she put in her original post was in fact correct. If necessary, and the page is deleted, a great deal of it can be confirmed by official sources, Emily is accurate but way to personal, if the page is not deleted, it's up to the true wikipedians to sort out what from that should still be Wiki. Here is the Original Complete Article Post. How long will it take to delete my page, because I'd love it to get deleted prior to an upcoming role in a film later this year - because I'm not a fan of non-approved creation of a site about me, and what happens when the attacks come in. The page history dictates these challenges, because even after my brief appearance on the ABC TV show The Bacahelor, a user user:rwilco201 started to aggressively change the page and cite sites that did not meet wiki regulations. Regardless, the Wiki community has done a good job with the clean up. I defer to the collective wisdom of Wiki expert users judgment if they see fit to delete the page - or to remove as much as possible, then great! Also, it’s important to note, that for the record, the only edits I personally made to the page about me were to remove the slander and insult posts from vandal,(too many times) and to correct two dates. A sincere thank you to the Wiki community for getting involved to fix things.
- Weak Keep – Based on his connection to wikipedia entry "Andy Baldwin", and his attempts to self-promote on both entries.
This is from the user, rwilco201, who started the whole request for arbitration for Gatsby. I didn't have any connection to Gatsby or "The Bachelor", but got involved with this based on Mitch's vociferous attacks on what i thought was a innocous edit. My take on it was that Mitch got caught sock-puppeting his own entry and Andy Baldwin's (see EmilyThrower's edit history). Based on his connection with the Andy Baldwin entry, this needs to be kept- otherwise the other entry should be revised as well. BTW, could someone respond to me and tell me why the Cele|bitchy entry was not viable? It is a blog that's well known, and I thought I reported on it from a NPOV - including quotes from Thrower himself. — rwilco201 (rwilco201 – 20:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
