Re Jeffrey A. Sachs
"In Argentina, Sachs is humorously known as Andrea Del Boca's former boyfriend. He dated the famous telenovela actress from 1997 to 1998." Apparently split off from another article in response to a complaint about mistaken identity. Non-notable; i doubt we have a legal obligation to keep it as a correction, and what i've added to the other guy's talk page should keep it from being reasserted. --Jerzy(t) 04:43, 2004 Sep 3 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable. Unuseful. Most likely a prank. ---Rednblu 05:18, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not a prank (Jeffrey D. Sachs himself corrected it). May be notable in future. Meanwhile, what harm is this stub doing anyone? ··gracefool | 05:25, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Not a prank? You mean if you created the page Special relativity and wrote into it only the one sentence you would not know that you did a prank? ---Rednblu 22:14, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • Why is that a prank? As Timwi said, it's a useful start to an article (although Jeffrey A. Sachs has more info than a single equation). ··gracefool | 02:50, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article is a nonstarter. Currently one line, which, if it is of any note at all, should be within an article on Andrea Del Boca, not an article in itself. Average Earthman 09:32, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with above negative comments. This article might fly on es.wikipedia.org. -Joseph 11:34, 2004 Sep 3 (UTC)
  • Delete: We have a long practice of redirecting boyfriends and girlfriends to their famous paramours, but it seems like this got broken away from its proper target. Geogre 12:00, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Useful article start. — Timwi 20:42, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect with [Andrea Del Boca]]. Gwalla | Talk 06:18, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Agree with the keepers.--Dittaeva 16:17, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Google only finds three pages mentioning Sacks and del Boca [1] and only one of them looks relevant. I conclude this is not notable (and borders on being unverifiable). Andris 16:22, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Agree with Dittaeva. anthony (see warning) 20:49, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
