Should be a Speedy. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 20:04, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help me out. Under which criterion? - Ne ll is 00:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He's got some press coverage as a website and book editor so a speedy is inappropriate. A merge to B3ta would be better than deletion, as most of his activities have been spin-offs from there, although maybe he's notable. He was a big cheese in British internet circles in the early 2000s and I'm not sure if there are now-vanished sources from that era. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:55, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if... it can be established he was "a big cheese in British internet circles" as User:Colapeninsula suggests. I recall coming across his name a number of times in the past (10, 15, 20 years ago?) even though I didn't pay much attention to British internet circles then. (Disclosure: I'm an occasional contributor to this article, plus I've engaged with Manuel slightly in recent years.)--A bit iffy (talk) 19:11, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep coverage seems sufficient to pass WP:GNG. Artw (talk) 04:16, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: the article just about establishes notability but for it to be encyclopedic a willing editor must improve it, otherwise it should be moved to the draftspace. DrStrauss talk please use {{ping|DrStrauss}} when replying 11:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
