Billy Lane

He does exist, but the article needs a re-write and I'm not sure he's really noteworthy enough for an article.--Silversmith 15:11, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: Billy Lane is a well known motorcycle builder and now TV personality. His appearances in a number of popular TV shows also helps his notability. The article definitely needs to be cleaned up, but is much better than some I've stumbled on. Wikibofh 15:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment:I've cleaned up the article a bit (I still think it needs more, but I like to work at a measured pace). Regrettably, after most of my cleanup I discovered that the article was a copyvio of this. I've brought that up on the talk page, but would appreciate input from the veterans on what impact this has on the article as well as the Vfd. Wikibofh 00:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have created a Billy_Lane/Temp to deal with the copyvio. What now happens to this VfD? Do we wait until that gets cleared out and then VfD on the new one? Wikibofh 20:44, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: Normally I do.  :) I discovered this after extensive editting, and I wasn't sure if was enough to fix it, which is why I brought it up, so that people would know when they voted. It's the first time I've found it after extensive edits. Wikibofh 05:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
