Eddie's Stories
The page admits that the person is non-notable at this time ("not a well known man"), and this page seems like it's just an attempt to draw more people to the linked website. &mdash;LrdChaos 13:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (3 Deletes; 1 Keep; 1 implicit keep from user whose only edits involved this article; only notability evidence provided is a discussion board posting, which is not a wiki-reliable source.) ~ "Jefficus" Q (talk) 22:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. &mdash;LrdChaos 13:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, concur with above. ~ UDScott 15:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment : I believe Eddie had an account here on WQ and caused a palava creating vanity articles etc. He has now left WP day-to-day. Maybe he's notable cos of that? Gary Kirk 17:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Notability comes from been written about in established print, Internet, or audiovisual media. Wikipedia users with tens of thousands of constructive edits are rarely notable, so a vanity editor is even less likely to achieve this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Eddie Segoura is notorious if not famous for his escapades in the early 90's. It is rumoured that he invented cyber-sex, but this is disputed by Simon Lissauer who takes full credit.
 * It's worth mentioning that the above user, 193.112.229.153, also made the following comment regarding the "Get Ahht" VfD: "Even if only say, 300 people know of Get Ahht!, it is far more well known than some obscure, and frankly ridiculous articles such as Eddie's Stories". &mdash;LrdChaos 14:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I should have remembered the situation Gary Kirk alluded to. We had an article titled "Eddie Segoura" and voted to delete it on the basis of vanity page with no notability evidence. I'm tempted to speedy delete (based on attempt to re-establish VfD'd material), but the approach and material are substantially different, even though I expect the result will be the same. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. I must say, I find it very rude of you, Jefferty, not to respond to the electronic mail message I sent you. I am quite shocked Get ahht was deleted, IMcG is extremely upset. Boo, hiss! Gary Kirk 12:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you should have remembered that INCIDENT! Arghh! Gary Kirk 13:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I have received no email from you, "Garrety". &#9786; ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Eddie is famous! I have evidence that Eddie Segoura is a common term. When somebody mentions words such as "Lanyard", "MetroCard" or "Voltron", they are met with cries of "Oh god... you're becoming Eddie Segoura!".
