Apparently some sort of minor celebrity in the UK. Article has been tagged with COI and POV tags (apparently, someone thinks that the article's creator and subject may be the same individual), and it was PRODded for lack of notability; it's only in existence now because it was previously PRODded and declined for an unrelated reason. There are no sources on this article, and there's no evidence that this person passes the notability standards. Nyttend (talk) 05:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article makes a backhanded claim ("acted extensively in the theatre") against WP:ENT criterion 3 ("Has made [...] prolific contributions to a field of entertainment") but that claim is not supported by IMDB (which admittedly doesn't list theatre roles) or Google (which shows several reviews of his performance in "Outside Edge" but no other theatre credits I can find). As such, unless further sources emerge, he doesn't pass WP:N or WP:ENT and is therefore not notable. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not notable enough for own article. BearShare998 (talk) 14:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
