[edit] Alex Ferrone

Delete biographical article possibly written by the subject. There seems to be little information about him on the internet; a search for this name yields only 53 hits, dealing with at least three different individuals with this name. (A few of the top hits are about this person, though.) While the awards are commendable, school awards are irrelevant (in this case, the Father Bressani DramaFest awards). I think he may warrant an article in the future if he continues what he's doing, but it's still a little early to include him in WP now. Mindmatrix 13:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, article is premature. -- Vary | Talk 13:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete his most significant achievement seems to be the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association awards, which are not in the same league as the Doras or the Tonys. Sorry. Ground Zero | t 14:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Ferrone definitely seems to be showing great promise, and may well eventually be notable enough for a Wikipedia bio, but he's not quite there yet. The main claim to fame is the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association awards. However, the association is not in itself notable, as it has no Wikipedia page of its own, and is only mentioned (briefly) in two other articles [1]. If Ferrone continues amassing a body of work, and can achieve notability via other verifiable sources, such as coverage in a major media source, or via a more notable award, the article can be re-established. In the meantime, I recommend that instead of a Wikipedia bio, he establish his own website, blog, or even Myspace page, to promote and document his body of work and current awards. --Elonka 16:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
