Unsourced BLP. Was previously PRODed (then the PROD removed by a LTA account), but the reason given there no longer applies. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSINGER can't find any significant coverage of him let alone 16 awards. Theroadislong (talk) 13:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note please see SPI Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Japansonglove for details about the ongoing article/disambiguation page hijack for articles with similar names. Those new accounts should be reported to the SPI case and revert edits to the article. It's hard to tell when I'm on my mobile, I don't know what the original page was, sorry.

Speedy Delete (WP:CSD#G5) This subject has been the topic of a long term sockepuppeting case (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Japansonglove). I frankly don't understand the page history, as the oldest entry in its history shows a minor edit by Onel5969, a long-time editor in good standing. This must have been a minor edit to something, but there's nothing prior in the page history. In any case, the page should be speedily deleted.
