WP:BEFORE finds no evidence of notability for the individual outside of the Religious Technology Center v. Netcom On-Line Communication Services, Inc. case. As most of the content fails verifiability, I think it should be blanked and redirected to Religious Technology Center v. Netcom On-Line Communication Services, Inc..

  • This is a rhetorical strawman argument. You user:Schazjmd create your strawman by falsely defining an article and then go to try to burn that article down by false sourcing tabs. What you've done here is false and should be opposed. And you do it with hard to follow circuitous codes and links. Disingenuous to the max. 71.29.113.108 (talk) 11:11, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You, user:Schazjmd, recently deleted my contribution for this page in the writings section, saying the text of this court filing was not reliable. The filed declaration came from attorney Richard Horning and it is ok to contact and verify with him. https://www.reedsmith.com/en/professionals/h/horning-richard-allan

Also Shari Steele at EFF can verify it. The case and file was on the EFF server, but was accidently destroyed. https://www.eff.org/about/staff/shari-steele Seen here on BBC-2 ... //youtu.be/b6KM27TUsvM?t=367

The declaration is also on Pacer of course. The case is published. Religious Technology Center v. Netcom On-Line Communications Services, Inc , No. 95-20091 RHW, 1995 Comp. Ind. L. Rptr. 20214, 20292, 20357, 20380, 20435 (N.D.Cal. 1995), 907 F.Supp. 1361 (N.D.Ca. 1995) 71.29.113.108 (talk) 03:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: I said a file on google docs was not reliable. Schazjmd (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gentlemen, I want you to know that I am 70 years old approaching an end-of-life situation, and that I consider what you are here – trying to cancel me – Delete my Wikipedia page that I've had for 13 years. I have hearts in lung problems that are terminal.

I consider your actions to be cyber bullying of a disabled senior citizen, by psychologically terrorizing an old, sick man whom you say is a "run-of-the-mill journalist" – when I spent all my life in radio and TV broadcasting, most recently 28 years as a videotape editor for some of the highest rated Hollywood shows. I only took over my parents newspaper in order to keep it going, to salvage their legacy.– threatening to take away my legacy that I worked hard to establish all my life. And if it doesn't stop, I'm going to report you to federal authorities that I have come through the years of knowing on a first name basis. And please don't consider that a threat, but next course of action Included in this would also be

I am sorry for your troubles. Nothing about this is personal, only about applying the policies of Wikipedia to determine whether there should be this stand-alone article. (We do not consider IMdB a reliable source, by the way.) Schazjmd (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-notable self-promotion article by COI-conflicted editor who now makes legal threats above. -- Valjean (talk) 17:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:Valjean you must point out where that legal threat is, for evaluation. 71.29.113.108 (talk) 09:33, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Here you threaten everyone who votes delete and Muboshgu: "I'm going to report you to federal authorities that I have come through the years of knowing on a first name basis. And please don't consider that a threat, but next course of action Included in this would also be Muboshgu who I believe started this whole thing". Don't issue any kind of threat. It has a chilling effect and is uncollegial. -- Valjean (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP Guidlines

"Proposed deletion (PROD) is a way to suggest an article or file for uncontroversial deletion. It is an easier method of removing articles or files than the articles for deletion (AfD) or files for discussion (FfD) processes, and is meant for uncomplicated deletion proposals that do not meet the strict criteria for speedy deletion..." And, this proposed deletion is as controversial and complicated as can be. If one were to give this article a fair hearing, you would find that this is where the legal concept of safe harbors for Internet service providers began. It began with Tom Klemesrud's declaration to the federal court of judge Ronald M Whyte. It culminated in Judge White's ruling in November 1995 that gave safe-harbor protection from liability to Internet service providers for what their users might post. California Congressman Christopher Cox relied on this ruling in the creation of section 230 of the communications Decency Act of 1996. It was from this Netcom case – Klemesrud's declaratory stance – that user:Schazjmd, reverted, with the novel claim that a legal document submitted by way of Google Drive, was not a reliable source. These case documents are all over the Internet, and can be found on the US Courts Pacer service. It was Klemesrud's declaratory stance, and Judge Whyte's rulings, that were codified into United States code for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA, also.

It should not go unnoticed that Wikipedia itself could not exist without these legal safe-harbor liability protections. Neither could YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, or any other Internet service that allows third-party user input into a public forum. This attempt to erase Internet history should not be supported because of Klemesrud's political leanings in support of Donald Trump. 71.29.113.108 (talk) 09:33, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just want to point that this isn't PROD, this is AfD. Thanks. Eyebeller 10:41, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can you say that in plain laguage? Tomklem (talk) 13:00, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Moved from below as these comments belong here. Tom, you are simply mistaken, as explained by User:Eyebeller. This is an AFD, not a PROD. BTW, there is nothing about this that has to do with your "political leanings in support of Donald Trump." -- Valjean (talk) 17:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[Citation] ... Importantly, the court held 

that:

     "[w]here a BBS operator cannot reasonably verify a claim of
     infringement, either because of a possible fair use defense, the
     lack of copyright notices on the copies, or the copyright holder's
     failure to provide the necessary documentation to show that there
     is a likely infringement, the operator's lack of knowledge will be
     found reasonable and there will be no liability for contributory
     infringement for allowing the continued distribution of works on
     its system." Slip Op. at 17.

If a fact-finder agrees that there is no liability in such a situation, many
system operators will live much happier lives as a result.... [End citation]
