[edit] Brendan Burns

None of this seems to assert meeting WP:BIO. --W.marsh 01:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete — If I recognised this a being a notable training center it may be a start, but I live in Auckland (where article's subject teaches) and have never heard of the Media Design School; The address is simply listed as level 10 of an office building. Failure to meet WP:BIO seems pretty but and dried to me. - GIen 04:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. While there are 50 mentions in an Australia and New Zealand media database, none seems to be a reference to him. Similarly, I can find no reference to him on Google scholar. There are verifiability problems with this article not to mention problems against our notability criteria. Capitalistroadster 06:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Blatant vanity article --Xrblsnggt 09:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. "brendan burns" +"media design school" gets six distinct hits, two of which are WP. The other four Ghits are the school's faculty roster and a couple of press releases. No national awards, or multiple non-trivial third-party articles to show notability. The fact the school may be notable or that it gives diplomas is not a consideration for Mr. Burns' notability.

  • Delete per Tychocat, fails WP:BIO, WP:PROF, suspected WP:VANITY, no WP:RS indicating notability. --Kinu t/c 15:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete because article is not verified by independent sources which acknowledge the notability of Mr. Burns in a manner that would satisfy WP:BIO, not to mention the WP:VANITY concerns.-- danntm T C 16:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Looks like vanity to me. Sparsefarce 18:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I have faintly heard of Media Design School, but it's not the biggest institute of its type in New Zealand, or the most prestigious, by a long chalk (and it's worth noting that it has no Wikipedia article). Mr Burns is definitely below the radar though, so delete as per Tychocat, danntm, et al. Grutness...wha? 00:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, GIen, Tychocat, danntm. The fact that the main contributors are User:Brendanburns and an anonymous IP supports the vanity assertion. Paddles TC 01:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Shocking This man thinks he is basketball god dennis rodman as well as a vain software git of some description. Clearly the man has serious vanity issues.
  • Delete per nom. (The commenter above mine is referring to some vandalism done to the article, which I reverted earlier today.) Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 23:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
