[edit] Jason C. McLean

Jason C. McLean (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable actor. Fails the biography policy. STORMTRACKER 94 20:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and failure to provide references. Stifle (talk) 21:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Checked the references, they are mostly fringe coverage, written by the subject or brief mentions. No change in my delete opinion. Stifle (talk) 11:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Wait just a cotton-picking minute! The creator has added several references since the AfD was started; among them is an short blurb in the Montreal Mirror about Mr. McLean and a campaign he started to ban advert trucks. He's also been interviewed by CKUT. NF24^{(radio me!}_{Editor review)} 21:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable actor, and a campaigner to ban ad trucks is clearly not notable. And the blurb in the Montreal Mirror was written by the subject. Corvus cornix 21:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
• Clarification, the first Mirror article was written by the subject as he is a published journalist, the other two Mirror articles were written about him, as with the other articles recently posted. I'm the author of the page in question. leaflord222 —Preceding comment was added at 22:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Jason C. McLean should be included, especially when he gains entry into the CANADIAN THEATRE ENCYCLOPEDIA, which would prove that he is a notable actor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.143.4 (talk • contribs)
• Delete This person is not notable. Captain panda 03:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - scrapes by, but meets notability criteria with the added references -- Whpq 16:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Can you explain how the added references provide any notability that was not already attested to in the previous references? Corvus cornix 19:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep -- some of the current set of references establish notability, even if only barely:
