I hold the opinion that any article on this man is not going to be NPOV, since the only reason he is popular is because Peppers is unfortuantely stricken with a condition that makes him look funny.
Not entirely - the person has a Snopes.com entry, and is a registered sex offender in Ohio.
I'm not endorsing it one way or another (for now), but it's certainly not a "slam dunk" case.
Agreed. But it was AfD'd more than once and people kept recreating it.
No.
A crappy version a long time ago that didn't read anything close to an encyclopedia article was AfD'd. A new version, more neutral, was created, and it was AfD'd *unsuccessfully* something like 5 times, interspersed with some sysops occasionally speedying it and it being unspeedied.
Every vote on the article in question (i.e. not the very early one) has come out somewhere near a deadlock. The most I've seen in favor of deleting is something like 60-65%, which is nowhere near the consensus to delete typically required on AfD.
