[edit] Bodymap, David Holah, Stevie Stuart

Copy of David Holah article. David Holah gets 175 google hits. Non Notable. Both articles need to be deleted. Magdela 23:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Edited to add David Holah, Stevie Stuart. -- Krash (Talk) 04:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. What about Stevie Stuart (Stevie Stewart)? [1] [2]-- Krash (Talk) 01:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Yes, please add Stevie Stuart and Michael Clark (dancer) to complete this AfD before people start voting. ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 04:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Michael Clark the dancer might actually be notable. At the very least, that article should have his own AfD. Too many listings rolled into one can lead to problems. -- Krash (Talk) 04:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 05:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all three as non-notable. -- Krash (Talk) 04:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all three nn. ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 05:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the three per WP:BLP. Stifle 00:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Given the importance of these designers in fashion history- to the point that the Times wrote last year in a feature on Stewart that the "Bodymap label had a defining influence on the aesthetic of the 1980s"- and the fact that their designs are featured on the V&A site, the articles look like obvious keepers to me. At the very least, I would have expected some intelligently argued reasons for deletion, something beyond NN or "needs to be deleted", something that demonstrates that the participants here have a basis for their "votes" beyond the knee jerk thrill of removing material from the site. Of course, the articles also would appear to have been copied from the V&A site and thus should be tagged as copyvios. -- JJay 02:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:BLP WP:NN are usually enough when commenting on 3 sentence articles that make no claim to notability. Why don't you expand the articles and ask people to reconsider if that's what you are proposing? ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 02:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Well I missed your comment on the article, but I would point out that BLP is barely applicable to the discussion and NN is an essay that has no meaning at all. They are both patently insufficient for participation here. If "notability" is what interests you, you should see the start of the 8-line Bodymap article where it says one of the brightest design teams to emerge in the 1980's. As for why I do not "expand the articles and ask people to reconsider", besides the fact that I tend to doubt that anyone gave any serious consideration the first time around, see above where I mention that the articles are copyvios from the V&A site. -- JJay 02:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
