[edit] Simon Edward Stokes

This page was created and is edited by a persistant vandal who is obsessed about adding false information about Families (TV series), New Zealand cricketers, vegans, The Simpsons voices (with a particular fetish for Mr Burns), amongst other things. According to the IMDB, this article is 50% incorect. See also Articles for deletion/Amanda Dickison, which was deleted on the same grounds. The JPS 08:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Simon Stokes is an actor and he was in Families among other shows [1]. He probably deserves a page. Frankly, I'm having trouble understanding your nom. -- JJay 09:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• If you had battled to remove the nonsense that this user has added to wikipedia over the last few months, the you would understand it. The IMDB does not mention The Bill. Google does not verify it either. Therefore, 50% of the article is incorrect. If this remains, it will be vandalised, and I will refuse to correct it. I am not nominating simply on the grounds of notability; but the poor notability is not worth the hassle.
  I'm not sure what needs clarifying, but feel free to get in touch if you still fail to understand my nom.The JPS 09:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: A quick google shows that Stokes has been in numerous shows such as Absolutely Fabulous. I can not confirm the Bill, as yet, but it is quite possibly true. Stokes is also a director. While I sympathize with your counter-vandalism efforts, that should not be a reason for deletion. If it were, we would have to cut George Bush and other pages. The editor in question, if really a vandal, should be blocked. However, Stokes must not be made to pay the price for the misdeeds of a wiki contributor.-- JJay 09:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Has also been on Neighbours and Absolutely Fabulous. Capitalistroadster 09:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable actor. We don't let articles pay for what vandals do to them. Block the vandal and keep an eye on the article. If you don't want to correct it, it should be easy to find someone who wants to (for example at the related TV show pages). - Mgm|^(talk) 10:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I'll withdraw nomination, ehtn, if someone else is willing to look after it. If the vandal can be sorted out, then please do so. Someone else might to try to sort through the 'contributions' he made this morning. The JPS 11:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
