[edit] Willie Harcourt-Cooze

The article reads like a personal page, fansite and/or promotion. The person is an entrepreneur who was the subject of a recent UK documentary. Some press coverage is therefore available, however this is not extensive and the person is not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Robnpov (talk) 16:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep and rewrite as necessary. They guy has a whole TV series on Channel 4 about him so we can't really claim he is not notable. I would have expected the TV series to have an article but it redirects here. Unless he is notable for other reasons it would be best to rewrite this as an article on the TV series. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • That's a very good idea. I am not aware of him being notable for other reasons. Robnpov (talk) 17:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as an independent article. Having a TV documenary about him clearly passes WP:BIO on its own, but there are also sources (particularly the Guardian reference in the article) which pre-date the TV series. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree work is needed. Notable enough imo due to the TV series, his company and his product. I also get the feeling we won't have heard the last of him, I expect a further rise in notability during the next few years. An existing article should see a better article develop than this getting deleted and someone having to start again from scratch at a later date. GQsm ^{Talk | c} 13:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep it, I have found it very interesting given his TV series and also his fantastic product range that he has brought to the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.185.240.124 (talk) 16:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
