Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timothy Ball (2nd nomination) closed as keep [Stoat]

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
In Tim Ball: turned out NN again I gloated over Tim Ball’s nth deletion, but now I have to eat humble pie because he’s been undeleted. Or rather, he’s been created from scratch. Before his partisans get too excited its worth pointing out that the keep rationales begin with
Keep: Michael E. Mann called him “perhaps the most prominent climate change denier in Canada”.
This is clearly silly: you don’t become notable just because some genuinely notable person thinks you’re an idiot.
As compensation, there’s still time to rub out Ferenc Miskolczi. He’s looking pretty marginal: his puffers are having to pretend that writing a whole 4 PR papers makes you notable. And apparently he, too, has been told he’s an idiot by genuinely notable people.
