promotional autobiography, non-notable person Rapido (talk) 09:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't really care particularly, but I would note that he's becoming a bit more prominent now that's he doing voiceovers as well (Grandad's Back in Business, The Choir). Still not sure he meets wikipedia standards for notability, but the article should probably be brought up to date before a decision is made. -88.110.26.202 (talk) 09:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Notability isn't established. The article is over a year old and little has been done to expand it. It is vague and doesn't explain what he had done besides making notable british TV programs and the programs seem barely notable when I researched for them. -Jahnx (talk) 10:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I've rewritten the article a bit, and he did win a BAFTA (British Academy Award) last year for The Choir (BBC2), so I'd say that makes him notable enough. --Canley (talk) 10:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Since he has won BAFTA, he clearly establishes his notability, at least sufficient to pass WP:BIO and its sub-policies. But, it requires clean-up. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 13:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Has he won an award? Yes. Do we have a reference to prove it? Yes, and here it is from BAFTA themselves: [1]. He's notable. Just fix it up a bit for the autobio concerns. Hersfold (t/a/c) 14:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, BAFTA-award winning TV producer. --Pixelface (talk) 17:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep Getting this BAFTA is to undoubtedly be in the notable business Plutonium27 (talk) 20:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I have seen the above votes with interest... It seems that he and some others jointly won a BAFTA for the BBC2 series "The Choir" (which doesn't have a Wikipedia article itself). Intrigued I took another look. Maybe he's more famous than I thought? Maybe I made a mistake nominating the article? Alas, not the case. A Google search for "Ludo Graham" yields... merely 157 hits. If he was that notable, he would've surely not have had to start his own entry , but someone would've already started it! So I'm very surprised anyone suggesting a "strong keep" for the article.

  • Keep - Even if he's not notable for anything other than the BAFTA award, he's notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. --clpo13(talk) 00:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
