Raymond karczewski[edit]
This page is blatantly an attempt to direct the user to the website listed. While the page itself may not show bias, the website linked to it certainly does. The page seems an attempt to drive traffic to the website. As I write this, I see a line which says: "Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business (see Wikipedia:Policy)." This article contravenes this.

I agree that the website linked is biased against the subject, and the article itself does not express an obvoius POV. At some point the article may become as interesting as the subject. I hope the original submitter will get rocking on turning it into an encyclopedic entry soon. Or if that is not possible, the original author may wish to consider excising the external link, leaving the article a stub for now until such time is found, so as to avoid the speedy deletion....?

- Delete, just looks like an ad for an external site. To be honest, although I might be missing something, I don't see how some usenet user, no matter how controversial his opinions, can ever be encyclopedic. Rje 03:15, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Insult page, ephemera. Some dude who yells a lot. Some other dude who dislikes him. Not encyclopedic. Geogre 05:22, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- delete. Kibo is an encyclopedic Usenet user because he has been on network TV (although the Wikipedia article on him is pretty useless and doesn't mention this). Nobody outside Usenet has heard of Karczewski, W*llm*nn and the like. They're only famous on Usenet because they and their gaggles of fans are pains in the butt. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:05, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Some guy who uses Usenet. David Johnson [T|C] 17:04, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
