Blatant self-promotion. Can he work his magic and persuade us to allow him an article? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 13:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

weak Keep has published and filmography section, but claim that is 'a leading' is now marked as needing citation. (Are there enough references to support claims?) RJFJR (talk) 15:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - I have removed 'leading' as suggested.

Delete "has published and filmography section" aside, there is nothing to support any of the claims in the article from reliable third party sources covering the subject in a non-trivial manner. Fails WP:V and WP:N. Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Have removed any claims that are not supported. Happy to add references as needed. Please advise.

Delete! Delete! per WP:BIO, WP:N and WP:COI PXK ^T /_C 17:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have taken all points raised and removed any assertions that were mentioned eg: 'leading'. Removed links to my agent and my magic shop (although that is relevent).

Having looked at other magicians articles Rob James (magician) James Brown (magician) Iain Moran the bio article seems standard.

I am happy to reedit as much as needed to fit in with guidelines and standard of the other English magicians with articles on here. Please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swifthand (talk • contribs) 22:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Links to example articles corrected.

I have added a list of my marketed magic illusions available worldwide from independent third parties.
I have added reference for my interview in the mass circulated magazine 'Magicseen' www.magicseen.co.uk (available from the bookshop: Borders)
I have also produced and directed magic lecture DVD's of creators in the UK and United States. I have not listed them as I'm not sure on the protocol ref advertising. for example my film 'Fade' starring Titanus is currently selling in 40 countries. Am I able to list productions that I only produce and direct, but to not appear in? Please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swifthand (talk • contribs) 19:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per what Jordan Payne said. Clear conflict of interest, and promotional and no reliable third party sources to establish notability...--Boffob (talk) 16:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have now done a major edit and removed most of the article leaving only the notible items referenced and verifiable by third parties. Please advise —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swifthand (talk • contribs) 20:28, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only thing establishing notability are the 2 interviews in what appear to be trade magazines. I don't feel that this is enough to show that this person is notable per WP:BIO. Kevin (talk) 08:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
