I did some searches and couldn't find much of anything. Smells like vanity, since most of the article goes on and on about sand fleas that his brother had. Mike H 03:54, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)

Date of birth. Check. Hospital of birth. Check. Gratuitous family medical information. Check. Name of pet. Check. Yup, sounds like vanity, or possibly a prank. Delete. Ianb 04:46, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Delete. The medical information is so gratuitious that I suspect this is a prank. Average Earthman 08:47, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Delete: I suspect a prank, too, and then we have the usual weasel words "has received world wide attention." From whom over the wide world has this attention come? No word. Geogre 11:59, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete: It was Cory who was stricken with a rare parasitic disease later identified as a strain of leishmaniasis, not Devin. It is a typical wannabe case. LOSER! Your baseball season is over!

Note that the user also tried to nearly blank the article twice. I reverted and warned him that if he did it again that he could be blocked, as he was disrupting a VfD process. Mike H 13:05, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)

This is Cory Lavigne and this page was created as a prank. I would like it removed immediately before my career is adversely affected by this unfortunate attempt at humor. I will speak to the individual responsible and assure it will not happen again. Take it down please.
I've seen lots of prank pages on Wikipedia, but this is a first: a prank page against somebody I went to high school with. My gawd. Delete obvious prank, with some surprise (given the content, not the subject) that this isn't actually a speedy. Bearcat 17:48, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- It kinda sorta is, but it kinda sorta isn't. If it had been the author who had blanked it, we'd have nuked it by now. I reckon we'll give it another half day or so to see if Cory's brother has something to say. :-( Geogre 18:07, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC) (VfD: a slow motion car wreck.)
Delete. Vanity or prank; either way it's gotta go. — Gwalla | Talk 20:19, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Speedy Delete since the subject of the article has requested removal, and the vote so far is overwhelmingly for delete. I have requested speedy. -Vina 20:59, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deleted, per consensus Geogre 01:31, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
