Article was nominated for deletion via WP:PROP. No case is made for notability, except unreferenced assertion of "renown". Writing for The Times is not itself a mark of notability. RobertG ♬ talk 15:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I originally prodded this article for being non-notable and lacking sources. Having seen the editor's full attempt at asserting notability, definitely delete. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 16:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Whilst editors may not be in the know of is relevence in the empowering of young people. His upcoming second national tour later this year is supported by the UK Government, in which he has personal backing of Education Secretary Ruth Kelly, and previous Shadow Education Secretary, now leader of the Conservative Party - David Cameron MP. With a little bit of research this can be supported. I also see you have Lynda Waltho placed as 'a famous person' in Stourbridge. She is one of the said MPs to support the education campaign on a local level, on behalf of the UK Government. She can be contacted.

As a completely seperate comment to this. Having been a reader of Wikipedia for quite some time you can't be feel that editors often come accross as 'know it all's' who when it comes down to it, don't know a lot apart from there own first hand knowledge. As someone who has worked in education for over 30 years, I find it quite remarkable how, Wikipedia advertises itself as an independent website, yet if certain people who are not knowledgable of a certain somebody or something, inclusion is questioned.
