non-notable bio, and seems to be a vanity page containing nothing of interest to the world in general or knowledge seekers in particular docboat 03:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete Under WP:CSD#A7. Kwsn(Ni!) 03:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - This appears to have been a page about an obscure actor which has been vandalised and not reverted. In the present form it needs to be removed, or for the originator to revert --docboat 03:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
reverted from previous unvandalised edition. Still seems non-notable docboat 03:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
The guy was only in one episode of that show, hardly notable still as you said. Kwsn(Ni!) 03:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete - no notability, article doesn't even strive to claim notability. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 08:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • keep - this article is a mess, a bit fanboy and a bit slack, not remotely up to scratch, but google this guy. He's notable because his show is notable, and from what I can see off the BBC website, he wasn't a one off but a recurring character. But this article needs to be be brought up to speed and fast.

  • keep - Have tried to clear it up a little bit, somewhat lacking in sources but theres certainly enough information there to justify its existence. If you start deleting articles of notable people just because their articles are too small, you may end up with a large deletion log.193.63.235.73 12:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless his page can be brought up to the standards of the other bluelinked actors at List of characters in River City. Needs a rewrite and better assertion of notability. Terraxos 21:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Scotland-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
