[edit] Adam Morris

Adam Morris (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This one's been speedy deleted a few times for A7 and G11... It's been recreated again with a bit more work with the references... However the subject simply isn't notable enough (and I think it's taken that the author of the article is the subject). Does not meet WP:BIO, sole reference is not a WP:RS. Oh, and the station itself is hardly a roaring success - it'll close down in about 10 days time.

In summary - not yet notable Thanks/wangi 21:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete While I'm not sure Adamiow was the author (in that case it would be vanity, although he was a contributor), still, delete per WP:BIO and WP:RS. His name is mentioned in the article for the station. That's enough. This guy doesn't need publicity. He needs a job.--Ispy1981 21:23, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, a guy with a job (and not even that for long, it seems). Doesn't come remotely close to the criteria for entertainers on WP:BIO. —Cryptic 21:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Firstly, I am not the person that the article is based on. I am just a fan, who happens to have the same first name. Secondly, I believe that he is a notable person. He has worked on two nationwide radio stations, broadcasting to in excess of 200,000 listeners on Capital Disney, as per RAJAR results. I also think that the comments on Capital Disney's success aren't really relevant. In reference to his future jobs, I don't think that is a matter for here either. Adamiow 22:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment: If Adam Morris is indeed notable then you should have no problem updating the article to meet the WP:BIO notability guidelines. If you're not Adam Morris then I think you need to do a bit of work on a couple of images: Image:AdamMorris.jpg & Image:AllanLake.jpg — who is the copyright holder? A photo being uploaded to myspace isn't a general release to use it somewhere else. Thanks/wangi 23:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment: I will sort out the copyright for the photos in due course, after this page is sorted. Adamiow 06:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of England-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 00:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, I don't see any evidence this person meets WP:BIO. There is no significant additional claim of notability beyond the versions that were speedily deleted per WP:CSD#A7 or WP:CSD#G11 (and for sake of full disclosure I am one of the admins who previously deleted this per a speedy tag).--Isotope23 15:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment: I am assuming radio presenters are part of Entertainers on WP:BIO. However, this criteria is very unclear, as I could say Adam has a cult following and his work on Capital Disney is significant, as the station is a major station, with awards and audience figures to show. Adamiow 22:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

  Please, have some reality and perspective when talking about "cult following"... Cult following is used to define fan behaviour of the like shown toward the Rocky Horror Show. Capital Disney was never a major UK radio station - it was DAB / satellite only. Thanks/wangi 21:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

  Comment: I accept the cult following situation, but I was just trying to demonstrate there are no clear criteria with regards to radio presenters. However, I very much disagree with your views on Capital Disney. The station is a major UK radio station, as the audience figures show. It makes a much larger impact than many stations on the RAJAR results. As well as this, it has won numerous awards, including the Sony Radio Academy Digital Station of the Year, which is the highest accolade possible for the station and for any station which is not local or on FM/AM.
