The result was Keep. According to the discussion, sources exist for editors to improve the article. That should also help to prove notability. Seraphim Whipp 17:29, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Roman Baker
Besides being abysmally written (which isn't a reason for AfD, I know), this biography asserts the notability of being the winner of the Brighton Festival award for Best Theatre, which doesn't seem to be backed up anywhere. Other than one non-sourced assertion, there's no notability. SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete not notable, no source except his own web-site. JohnCD 22:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP - Google gives a lot of info about him. He has written over a dozen plays, and did indeed win the Brighton Festival award. He has worked with the Dutch gay organization COC as well. There is enough information from my little web search to significantly expand the article. The editor who created it (or others) should be given the chance to do so. -- Jeffpw (talk) 17:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
