Luke Leslie[edit]

Non-notable film student; sole verifiable claim to fame seems to be a "Special Innovation Award" in a non-notable film festival for students aged between 7 and 18 [1]. From the username of the creator I suspect WP:COI may be relevant. Demiurge 01:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Delete per nominator as a possible vanity article. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 02:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "vanity" is now discouraged as a reason for deletion. Instead please use "conflict of interest" per WP:COI as the nominator alluded to. Cheers, Jpe|ob 04:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. His film company gets a whole of 9 ghits and the festival gets 789 ghits. Both of which should be larger for something really notable. MER-C 02:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:N. He got published as a festival winner anyway. ~ Feureau 03:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was concerned myself prior to doing any research on the topic, but now that I've looked at it, I can't find notability (and am also concerned about COI). A number of other family members should be examined for the same issues (although independent AFDs will be necessary). ju66l3r 04:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:BIO criteria. --Ter e nc e Ong _{(C | R)} 04:52, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:BIO. Award much too minor to automatically confer encyclopedic notability Bwithh 04:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Mergewith Desmond Leslie; am going to nominate Shane Leslie for the same reasons offered above. Don't think a minor award meets the WP:N criteria.SkierRMH 08:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Shane Leslie article looks a bit dodgy too. He has had some books published, but it's unclear if they meet the notability standards. Much of the info in the article seems to come from his "unpublished memoirs", thus failing WP:V (and possibly WP:OR). Demiurge 13:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom... I wish was an young film-maker. Black-Velvet 12:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (or merge with Desmond Leslie) -- no reason to delete all his info; he seems worthy enough of inclusion, if not on his own page then with his grandfather.

I have seen plenty of pages of people with hardly any info. and of even less consequence than this young man, and no one is recommending them for deletion. "Possible vanity" does not justify such extreme sanctions.HOT L Baltimore 16:39, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you have seen "plenty of people of even less consequence", then please nominate them for deletion as well. You'd be doing us a service. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing against the man, but he doesn't seem sufficiently notable. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 20:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (or merge with Desmond Leslie) -- the family is famous (or infamous) across the British Isles. Possibly a single page for The Leslie Family - Churchill connections, WW2, Landed estates, Grandfather invented modern mixing desks with Neve, Grandfather author of multiple works, Grandmother OSS spy in WW2 and moderately famous Brechtian cabaret act (ref Marc Almond of Soft Cell), Family home now a famous country house hotel (ref Paul McCartney's wedding), Father a multiple award-winning architect and multimedia designer. The young man seems to be doing a good job of keeping up the family's track record of creativity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.133.76 (talk • contribs)
Keep (or merge with Desmond Leslie) -- I found 147 ghits for "Luke Leslie"+film, including several pop videos. Given the quirky family background this is one to keep - may not be of much interest to American readers, but certainly worth a family page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.77.169.105 (talk • contribs)
