Quack Quack, ....Nurse Ratchett get me my meds Options

[Piperdown]

2 Quacks (new interwebs 3.0 lingo for disgraced Wikipedia Admins - redundant, I know) are all in a tizzy over fat men coming back. Who knew that nervous nutters preferred hairy plumper bears?

Meds, stat, to the Wackypedia Ex-Admin Ward of the Very Very Nervous. Little Lord Powerranger and Napolean Boobaparte are in need of comforting.

I would find humor in this, except for the presence of Ryulong and Tznkai, making the
usual flaming pigheaded asses of themselves.......

I just checked ProQuest NewsStand and found 24 references in reliable sources for John Bambenek. Nineteen of those references, however, were from a single source, the Champaign, Illinois News-Gazette. Checking General OneFile shows that Mr. Bambenek appears to have written a column for The America's Intelligence Wire for the University of Illinois. Thirty-nine of his columns from August 2005 to March 2007 are listed.

If someone had written the article and posted it with all 60+ references listed, I wonder if it would still have been deleted?

And to think I was accused of "trolling" when I claimed I had a "team of experts" in my back pocket to help me find reliable Bambenek sources!

Judging by this list of sources, John Bambenek probably does meet Wikipedia's current notability standards. He is a noted and quoted expert on cyber-security issues, a columnist and editor for a mid-major newswire service (America's Intelligence Wire is used as a reference in about 50 Wikipedia articles), a guest columnist for his city's newspaper, a book author, a national delegate for the Republican party, and a local politician and activist. Who was the first admin who decided that this guy wasn't notable and banned all mention of the guy from Wikipedia? Was it JzG?

Update: Here's the article history.

If I recreated the article, what do you suppose would happen to me? Could I expect to be burned or boiled alive, or would they choose a comparatively humane method of execution? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif)

To be fair to the editors and admins involved in this, the last time the article was up for AfD was in 2006. A lot of what he has done to make himself notable has happened since then.
