Did Matt write this article? 123fakestreet
Why would anyone want to delete this page? I found it midly interesting, as a link from the "Internet Phenomenon" page. Leave it as it is, stop being so delete-happy.
Matt doesn't hate Canada. That was a joke. Click the link, and you'll see that many a time he's told Canadians he likes Canada, and wants to go there, but it's not on the way to anywhere else.
What was Matt's motivation?
Now that the article has been rewritten, I'm OK with it.
I think the random quotes needs some kind of context, otherwise they just seem a bit offensive, esp. Jesus killing a kitten. --Johann Schlinker 11:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
They are also "poorly sourced" for sure, which violates official policy on Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons, so I removed them. None of them come up on Google. --Epukinsk 23:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
They can all be found on his blog @ wherethehellismat.com. I looked them up and found them all to be accurate, and at least somewhat relevant. The main idea of his blog seems to be to convince the reader that he is "not the guy in the video", meaning that he has many flaws and does not come near the perfect image shown in his dancing videos.
So does every living human belong on Wikipedia, or only those from Connecticut? Is it the fact that the man has travelled that makes this individual worthy of an encyclopedia article and bio, with poorly written quotes? I think I'll make my own vanity article, if that's the case. DigitalEnthusiast 23:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
What makes it worthy of inclusion is the fact that a man traveled the world to create beautiful art, art that influenced the creation of further beautiful art. Is it worthy of inclusion? I submit that it is more worthy than the inclusion of (for example) Stevens T. Mason. While there is no question as "Boy Governor" of Michigan that Mason was important to some of the people of his time and place. His relevance to the modern world is almost non-existant. On the other hand, Matt Harding has touched thousands or millions of people. While he received news coverage and ample coverage in blogs and other media, it is probably unlikely his memory will last beyond this turbulent age. The tide of information is rising like a storm and much that is unquestionably notable will probably vanish without a trace as well.
Should either article be deleted? Is Wikipedia running short on space? If it offends you, do not be surprised. In Wikipedia there are entries enough to offend us all. aka andrew mcfarlane - farlane.wordpress.com 13:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
is there a way to settle the deletion issue for this article? some major changes have happened since the last nominations including mention of this story in major newspapers.Sourcesleuth 11:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Please do not remove proper citations to reliable sources (as Matt San did here) and replace them with original research, i.e. the latest numbers on YouTube, simply to provide "the latest numbers". This degrades the verifiability of articles and may cause them to be nominated for deletion. Also, try to space out citations so that they don't all support the lead sentence and have a bunch of other unsupported sentences elsewhere -- it just looks sloppy. --Dhartung | Talk 22:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
So, now we have a 5 min video described here in wikipedia, just cause there is someone, a normal video-game-journalist, dancing? And the whole world can search the video via: Where the hell is Matt?
Can we delete the entrance? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.23.196.20 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-29T09:54:28
no reference for death information? Vm0d (talk) 09:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
The use of the flags seems to be random. Somtimes it is the flag of the country, sometimes the flag of the state, sometimes the flag of the city. Shouldn't always the flag of he country be used? --Angua (talk) 01:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I wonder if Matt got an official permission to use "Sweet Lullaby" for his video, or does Youtube agree with license violations? --Plenz (talk) 15:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
These have been moved here from a subpage as part of a cleanup process. See Wikipedia:Discontinuation of comments subpages.
The subject is notable but the article needs more information. If possible quotes from the cited articles or more details into the interesting particulars may be of help.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.179.98 (talk) 07:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
