Paul Gerard Kennedy[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an article about a Dr. Who fan. The assertion for notability is that he is an important figure in Australian Dr. Who fandom and has won Double Gammas which are awards for excellence in Australian Dr. Who fandom. There is no significat coverage in reliable sources, and the award is not a major award. There is some claim for sources at Talk:Paul Gerard Kennedy but they are unconvincing.

Delete - The "sources" are extremely brief mentions in a couple of National Library data entries, and a couple of fansites. So fails WP:BIO. Besides that, the article also appears to be an autobiography, and the significant contributor (and asserter of notability) the subject.. Frickeg (talk) 00:11, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR. WWGB (talk) 00:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no independent reliable sources. The only "citation" on this article is in fact a wikilink to the Double Gammas, a fan club, which also has no reliable sources (the Australian Science Fiction Bullsheet (groan) might come close if the link weren't dead, but I still doubt it). I'd say delete both of them.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 09:28, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also note the COI of the main contributor, User:Chewy6202. The article subject's nickname is apparently Chewy.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 10:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
