Charlie Boucher (writer)[edit]

Author of a self-published book; the question is whether he is perhaps notable for the two radio plays. DGG ( talk ) 03:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's really no notability here. For that matter, there isn't much notability for the film either- I'll probably nominate that for AfD or PROD it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:25, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that this has a snowball's chance of surviving AfD. The article is fairly promotionally written- do you think it could be speedied that way? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was on the fence about this subject. The BBC plays, and a short film directed by a (somewhat) notable director that won an award (albeit a fairly minor award)... certainly enough to escape speedy deletion. But not enough significant coverage to allow for any verifiable expansion of the article. To DGG, you should note that, gender-bending name to the contrary, Boucher is a woman. To Tokyogirl, I don't find the article blatantly promotional. (Well, at least not since I removed the bit about who her agent is.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see evidence that she passes WP:WRITER: it's a minor award, and none of the works appear to have received substantial critical coverage. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
