I doubt this person is "notable," but the usual reasons for deletion (red link or no link, vandalism, incorrect placement) don't apply. Please explain why you think this should be removed, and no doubt I will agree. But until I get a reason, I'm going to revert deletion. Coleca 22:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duran Duran Party in Nottingham (Gateway Hotel)
This doesn't look like a significant event to me. Should this even be on this page? Also I didn't find any reference to this on the Duran Duran article; did this even happen? Grouf(talk • contribs) 17:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Since no-one has anything to say about this I am going to remove the entry. Grouf(talk • contribs) 17:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
