Cameron McCammon
Not notable. No Wikipedia page, no results in a Google search, and the quotes are obviously personal ones. &mdash;LrdChaos 16:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (five votes to delete, no dissent). &mdash;LrdChaos 18:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. I've added vanity-warn to the registered creator's user page. &mdash;LrdChaos 16:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: I just noticed that InvisibleSun had previously speedy-deleted this article twice without a specific reason cited. Both times, the article's sole quote was the incredibly inane "I eat cheese every day", and only the first instance provided any identification, the unhelpful and almost certainly false statement: "Mr Cameron McCammon is a highly esteemed and celebrated expert in the field of cheese and cheese-related activities". I deduce that the rationale was "patent nonsense", although that stretches the Wikipedia meaning of term (and we still haven't approved our own speedy deletion changes to make this more useful). Furthermore, a pattern developed that apparently made both InvisibleSun and Kalki suspicious: a new user was registered each time to create this article —, , and now . Neither of the old users was blocked, but they didn't make any comment or other edit that suggests they care about this article. I'm troubled about the speedy-deletes under our current policy, but I suspect this is a serial vanity editor that we must at least keep an eye out for when this new article is almost certainly deleted. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I had speedily deleted the previous two articles as put-ons and therefore nonsense. On reviewing the "patent nonsense" requirements, however, I see that these  articles wouldn't have qualified for speedy removal.  Even hoaxes must be allowed their two weeks in the sun before going into the  dumpster.  The current article, as a vanity page rather than a hoax, shows evolution of a sort; but nothing worth keeping.  - InvisibleSun 02:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
