Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Billy Lockwood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Please note that new users (especially with this AfD as their only contribution) are given very little, if any, weight, unless substantial points are made. There have been additions to this article, but not verified with suitable references. This article could possibly be recreated if additional material and verification (see WP:VERIFY) is added. At the moment, for example, two of the filmographies don't mention Lockwood, and the other is in production. This is not sufficient. Tyrenius 22:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Lockwood

The subject of this article fails WP:BIO based on my understanding of his career and that standard. There are 40 Google hits for his name and either actor or musician, and most are IMDB name search queries. None appear to be a verifiable source that might augment notability.

  • Note 67.142.130.24 (talk · contribs) has numerous keep votes, including under the name imovie. ~ trialsanderrors 03:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. He fails WP:BIO and has only acted in 3 movies, of which have mostly been minor roles. --Nishkid64 21:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. He has performed on numerous t.v. shows including Soap Talk performing with his band Rowdy. According to thier website. Also has been published by Samuel French Inc. in Here, There & Everywhere for the play Waiting For Ringo. He also starred in the Television pilot Lonestar. He is very notable! I found this in google. I found him in over 1800 hits. The reason you found less is because he is also known as Will Lockwood, Billy Lockwood, Bill Lockwood, and William Lockwood. Please do not delete the Billy Lockwood page. 67.142.130.24 00:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)|imovie67.142.130.24 00:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. Wikipedia works using verifiable sources. If we need to consider something that is not within the article, I would suggest adding it to the article along with verifiable citations and commenting on this AfD entry once that has been accomplished. Everyone here wants this article included if notability can be established. Erechtheus 22:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I updated the Billy Lockwood page using verifiable sources and linking the page to them. I added many things that were not on there...but there still is more I will update. Thank you for considering adding this page. It really should in Wikipedia. The Billy Lockwood fan club requests it. As you can see on the updates notability has been established. Please do not delete it. Thank you! 01:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Bit parts in two movies, and a third coming up. Been in some non-notable bands you've never heard of; related to two actors you've never heard of, even less notable than him (each has one bit part to their credit); and best friends with someone who's related to an actor. Adding it all together, it doesn't come to much. Fan-1967 02:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


  • Keep. I uderstand the Wikipedia is have a hard time with knowing what is truthful or valid to put in its website. This particular page is truthful and valid of a notable actor/musician. After careful research & studying the wikipedia way......i understand what your up against. I would not want to be you. 67.142.130.24 23:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article clearly passes WP:BIO based my reasearch and understanding of his career and acomplishments. His music career alone with having 12 albums with three notable bands passes, not to mention the movies, (I remember him Telling lies in America) and the television shows. He already is in Wikipedia several times. He's anotable keeper. Kp21 23:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. He is a famous musician, not to mention his acting notabilty. I found verifiable sources that prove notability. He passes WP:BIO standards and should stay. Mdirk 20:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Note Mdirk (talk · contribs)'s sole edit. Tyrenius 22:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
