[edit] Michael Mortimer

Michael Mortimer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Totally unsourced biographical article (violates WP:BLP). Questionable notability. Marwood 10:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete The lack of reliable sources for this article is a major concern here. A google search shows up few useful links for this article. --Siva1979Talk to me 11:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (edit conflict) I don't see this individual passing WP:BIO and there's hardly even anything that could count as an assertion of notability in the article. I haven't been able to find anything about him on Google that would make him noteable either (and, considering that the name is somewhat common, the person I got a few hits on may not even be him). This bio would be appropriate for Myspace and possibly many other websites but this is not Myspace. --S up? 11:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


  • Keep One source of information was from the SinDef flash website, www.sindef.co.uk. Part of the group SinDef, he falls under the alias of 'Mike Notion'. I will be updating the 'Musical Background' section as soon as possible with information sourced from this website and I also contact Michael Mortimer himself via this website for more information about himself which is of course the most reliable too. He also known for his Freeriding in the South Essex area, in Essex, England, by people who track the sport. I believe this article is a useful bibliographical addition to Wikipedia and should not be removed.

Before you do that, please read WP:RS. Thank you. -- S up? 12:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:N and WP:BIO, not really much assertion of notability. Only webpage cited is a self-published website of a non-notable musical group. Hut 8.5 12:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete failing WP:NOTE - Reads like an autobiography! Corpx 20:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Reads like an autobiography? Ludicrous. Anyway, if you are all going to act as if you know that this person is not of any notable quality then go for it, you may as well delete it. After all, people don't go round sniffing out wikipedia pages in which to vote to KEEP do you, so in any case the vote will be lost by me. Daves bots 23:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • You cant vote Keep twice. If you have any proof of "significant coverage" from independent sources, I'll change my vote. Corpx 16:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
