An article on an Eagle Scout. Sole claim to notability is that he was listed twice in the Who's Who Among American High School Students. silsor 22:37, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete vanity. —Korath (Talk) 23:11, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I'm 100% sure we VfDed him before, although it might have been under a slightly different name. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:51, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Is this the one? silsor 00:54, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Yep. Hmm, that's odd, it's two different guys but very similar article styles. Different IP addresses for the editors, but VERY close. Something fishy's going on there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:57, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Not really fishy, they were both contributed by User:Sistertina. silsor 17:14, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)

- So... did you pay Marquis to get a copy of the book? I'm dying to know. Macho man 18:52, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for non-notability. Maybe in the future, but not now. And I wouldn't call it vanity, since it appears to be part of an obsessive campaign by Sistertina to promote the notability of him and a similiar fellow named Finis White. See Eagle Scout and its Talk page for more. I wouldn't blame either of them, because I suspect that neither knows about it. --Calton 01:06, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Not notable. Based on the fact that User:Sistertina said both are members of her troop, and her and this scout share a last name, its almost certainly a matter of a mother trying to get her son and his friend listed. --Sillydragon 03:01, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
