Christopher Buretta

• Looks like incoherent vanity to me. Delete. jni 09:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I'm not so sure think it might be interesting to research Buretta more first. Keep. Note: edit by article author 69.210.96.77

• Every human being in some way impacts the outcome of history. Every man is a hero for merely getting through the day. Have none of you read James Joyce's Ulysses? It would seem to me that a denial of this article is not just an insult to Mr. Buretta, it is also an insult to yourself. We all will leave our mark on the world, it would be impossible not to. Why deny any man the right to be known for who he is, or even who he wants to be? Maybe it is "incoherent vanity." But what is the sum total of history if not incoherent vanity? Is it not written in the bible "vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Just keep the damn article. Keep. User:byob19 04:39, 1 Jun 2005 Note: edit was actually made by 69.210.96.77
  • Very well put. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to check up on every human being, so we have to limit ourselves to those who make an impact which is measurably greater than average. Kappa 21:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - nonfamous person, despite of all the platitudes. Another Wikimanity candidate? - Skysmith 10:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity, not written in a remotely encyclopedic style, and no, arguing semantics won't help. We're not denying someone the right to be known, they're free to go elsewhere to do that if somewhere exists. Average Earthman 13:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yes, every human impacts someone, but the "Jesus of cool" is not an encyclopedic topic. --Scimitar 16:24, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per Skysmith. Vanity. If you want to be known, set up a free website. This is an encyclopedia. Mgm|^(talk) 16:40, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's vanity, but even if it wasn't, it'd still be an obvious fabrication. Every man may be a hero for merely getting through the day, but telling blatant lies about how "most Buddhist Scholars agree [Buretta] is one of the bodhisitvas", to pick an obvious example, is not only decidedly unheroic but also not a requirement for getting through the day. -- Captain Disdain 21:28, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete 'WOT' -- dob 1986, age 19! 'Perhaps need a guideline that someone has to be at least 25 or subject to speedy' would thin these vanity/hoaxes into something we should be spending our time on. say {{Agetrigger}} could immediate place the arty into a basket for 'merit review'... while making the arty invisible on the web. The occasional legit pop-star/icon/boy scientist/mass murderer can then be gated in w/o rewarding the hoaxer by giving them five+ days of fame. Fabartus 00:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Captain Disdain is cognatively impaired and therefore his opinions should not be taken into consideration when making a judgement. I also feel wikipedia should Keep the article.

    • Cognitively impaired? Perhaps, but at least I know how to spell "cognitively". I mean, that's gotta be worth a cookie or something, right? -- Captain Disdain 01:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
