[edit] Bobby George

Tagged for speedy as little or no context. Article is really short, but I think there is a enought ontext here to clear the speedy deletion criteria. Appears to be a professional darts player so I say keep as we do with other professional sports players. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, notable enough - I've heard of him and I don't follow darts at all. Qwghlm 13:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. Professional darts player and presenter on the BBC. What more do you want? Movementarian 13:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep, note how I nominated this article for speedy deletion before it was expanded. Before I can comfortably vote keep, I would like to know what it is he presented. Also, the article states he lost an Embassy game, I'm more interested in what he won... - Mgm|^(talk) 13:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Darts, of course. Movementarian 14:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• He presents the Lakeside World Darts Championship (see World Professional Darts Championship.) He won the Hainault Super League Singles in 1976, the Essex Masters three years running (76-78,) the North American Open in 1978, the NOTW Championship and Butlins Grand Masters in 1979, etc. Essexmutant 16:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• • Yes, that's the kind of information we need. Can anyone explain the stray sentence fragment? - Mgm|^(talk) 19:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, darts pundit. Kappa 14:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - not my kind of topic, but I can see the article, as it stands, grossly under-represents his record: see [1] [2] [3]. Tearlach 14:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - very notable darts player and celebrity, needs expanding though. Essexmutant 16:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I am not a darts fan, but he is quite famous in the UK. Needs expanding, though. Dan 16:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep This has to be the most famous person I've seen AFD nominated yet! He may be a nobody in the rest of the world, but he's a household name in the UK. --kingboyk 16:49, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Not in this household but I will defer to the will of the other voters. -- (aeropagitica)  18:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There must be more people who have heard of Bobby George than who have heard of the most famous person in some academic categories with scores of members. Calsicol 19:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Bobby George is one of the most recognised and well known figures in darts, although no longer a very successful player. Didsbury ryder 21:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• I am going to make a slight ivocation of IAR here to speedy up the process. Clearly this thing is going to be kept. Even the nominator, i.e me, wants this kept, and Mgm who added the first delete tag voted "weak keep". THere is no point in discussing this further. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
