Courtesy nomination on behalf of an anonymous IP who claims to be the subject, stating "Its inaccurate and hurtful to my life." See also discussion on my user talk page. As for my own opinion, leaving aside the current unverifiability of the subject's identity, the material in the article appears to be properly sourced to a degree that would earn at least a tepid keep from me. --Finngall talk 06:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

Note to all that the previous AfD discussion was in 2006, before many of the events listed in the current article occurred. As for the "why" of an article, this is an encyclopedia whose purpose is to provide information about notable subjects. It's not a social media site for people to
undue weight
, but if that's all the verifiable information we have from the sources, then there's little that can be done.
If the consensus is to delete the article, so be it. If it is kept, then the fact that's we've got more eyes looking at has already resulted in the article being improved. Your wishes are being taken into account, but the outcome will be determined more within the framework of Wikipedia's policies and procedures. My "keep" opinion (note that it's not a vote--the final determination will be made based on the weight of the arguments rather than the numbers) is based on the notion that there has been sufficient coverage of you in the media to merit an article--positive or negative makes no difference. If more positive coverage is included, great. If better information to balance the arrest reporting is found, great, but we need that from secondary sources, not from your say-so. In any case, thank you for listening and discussing. --Finngall talk 17:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:From Korey to Fingall: Thanks for your feedback Finngall. I agree with everything you said. I am just trying to get fair and accurate representation. So if I may make some notes on the article as it is considered for deletion. The annotations at the bottom - Link Number 1 is broken, Link 2 is broken, Link 3 "my say so" not reputable, Link 4 a repost from a non-reputable source, The Daily Star. I can't have my cake and eat it too so why can this article? I have offered sources on the arrest here - https://www.thedailystar.com/news/local_news/film-explores-veterans-and-ptsd/article_2bd493d2-4d91-594e-8a45-ef5625f1cf92.html. THIS IS THE SAME PUBLICATION USED AGAINST ME BUT IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO ASSIT ME IN CORRECTING THE BAD INFORMATION? Please also see my comments at the bottom of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1017:B0A4:70D:74D4:AABE:5E28:5FC7 (talk) 17:52, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some edits to the article according to the sources you gave and cleaned up the superfluous Daily Star ref. I do think there's a bit of a balance problem in the article and it could do with some work, and I understand why you're unhappy with how it looks right now; the edits you proposed there are reasonable and I've balanced it out accordingly.

  • Comment:I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that, all I want is a fair representation or none at all. However it is still largely inaccurate and please allow me to explain. I was honorably discharged, stop. No more. I served two tours over seas for this nation. Why are unproven non-prosecuted allegations worthy of this article? If I deserted for real, and was in the wrong I would have gone to jail. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the reason I was not was because I was never in the wrong? Because I was never actually AWOL and that I served this nation honorably? I have been charged with crimes, sure. I admit that. But I was never prosecuted for them. I am not a felon. I am a business owner, husband and father. I am trying to live my life and I can't tell you how many jobs I have lost because of this article. I would like to restate that I would like this page deleted, I do not seek notoriety or fame.

  • Comment: Now allow me to take on the heroin allegation, which also was not prosecuted and as you know as posted above the charges were dropped to a MUCH lesser crime. So in the new edit done by Vaticidalprophet the line about this uses a new link from the Post Standard that is only a repost of The Daily Star and references that link directly in the article. This is known as fruit of the poisonous tree. If the Daily Star is not a reputable publication then the reference here is also by proxy not of the standards required by Wiki and should be removed. Additionally, if you go to the link where my military records is posted you will also see the letters from my professors who backed me up on why I was there in the first place. I admit that is when I learned making docs could go to far but should I also be guilty in the court of public opinion of something I did not commit? https://web.archive.org/web/20140130214357/http://www.koreyrowe.com/2014/01/my-life-your-business.html

  • Delete. Appears marginally notable, but probably doesn't pass
