Nonnotable web humorist; 76 unique Ghits, website has Alexa rank below 2,000,000. NawlinWiki 23:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete no signs of notability. The site is hosted for free and and was created earlier this month. That is hardly enough time to create a large fanbase. IrishGuy talk 23:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep His website has recently switched over to a dot-com and aquired new servers without advertisement which is the reason for his low hits. It is not only mudpiglet.com that he is most notable for anyways. He has been published on Pimpwiz.com, The Raging Face, Dying Writers, he is a Staff writer with a weekly column for The Weekly Procrastinator, and he has several short stories being published in a series of books entitled "One Story To Tell", the first of which is being released in fall. Many of these projects are under the name "Sean Cahill", but Mudpiglet is the alias which he prefers to be known by. His exposure and fan base are higher than an Alexa rating for his 2 week old website would belie. His most Mongoleer 23:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep(sockpuppet) He is an important web humorist. Of all the other non-notable people with wiki articles, Mudpiglet is an undeserving target. Read the sources, look at his broad base of publication, this guy is notable no questions asked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dafturd (talk • contribs) (article author)- comment Staff writer for the weekly procastinator which has no Alexa ranking [1]. Dying writers, which accepts submissions from anyone and therefore it isn't really a sign of notability, has no Alexa ranking [2]. He has written exactly one article for pimpwiz.com [3]. Thisisby.us is a site wherein anyone can join and write content. Sean Cahill has been a member for a couple of weeks [4]. IrishGuy talk 23:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Please read WP:Consensus and WP:Deletion Policy, "the purpose of a discussion is to bring out a "sense of the community" and the valid points for or against each view. So deletion is not a strict "count of votes", but rather a judgment based upon experience and taking into account the policy-related points made by those contributing." "Voting" more than once really doesn't help your cause. Scorpiondollprincess 16:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
