[edit] John Clark (actor/director)

Pure WP:AUTO - identical to creator's user page. All his edits have been to this or to Lynn Redgrave, his ex-wife --Jamoche 07:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable bio. Kevin 08:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A good haircut could turn this into a worthy encyclopedic article. If he is non-notable then there are countless thousands of current similar bio entries in Wiki that need the axe as well. One man's meat......Moriori 09:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as WP:AUTO and WP:VANITY. There may be scope for a proper article on this man, but a self-written promo piece is not the way to start. --BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 13:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Quoting the very page you link to: "vanity by itself is not a basis for deletion". — Haeleth Talk 15:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I've scraped this article with a NPOV comb, and would argue that while some more citations are needed, notability is asserted in spades. He was William, after all! Colonel Tom 14:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. Vanity is not a basis for deletion. Edit out anything unverifiable, POV, or based on original research, and keep the rest, in accordance with the actual policies and principles on which Wikipedia is founded. — Haeleth Talk
• Keep Notable enough, IMDB bio shows a significant body of film and TV work. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per above. Stifle (talk) 15:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for the above reasons. -- DS1953 ^talk 01:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've "cleaned it up" by removing items that might be deemed controversial. Any so considered can be found in my website, which I have just updated with archival footage from British Pathe. Please don't delete all of this entry, I think it belongs here in Wilkipedia.
