• Keep meets WP:NOTE critera as it does supply independant third party sources asserting significance, and a with quick google search one would find that the information in the article is verifiable. AngelOfSadness talk 17:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - As I created the article I'm not going to vote, because that's something I just don't do, but anyway. First off, if you're going to AFD this, then why not all the other BAFTA ceremony pages as well? And why not all of the Emmys ceremonies pages? Does the fact that they're an American award make them more notable than this (the main British TV award)? Or perhaps it's the fact that they haven't taken place yet? I don't know, but what exactly makes it "Not Notable"? Props for a quick AFD creation though, I went away for ten minutes to make some toast and came back to find it already up for deletion. It would've probably taken me half an hour to properly create an AFD. Gran² 17:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - meets all applicable criteria – ukexpat (talk) 17:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep We got colour TV as well! Please let's sort this now. Before more Brits get in from work/finish their tea/homework and see it.... Plutonium27 (talk) 18:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep There is plenty of coverage in reliable sources to easily establish notability, good start to the article considering it was only started a couple of hours ago. Davewild (talk)
• Speedy keep. Very notable event in the UK. And as the nominations have been announced it's perfectly viable to have an article on the show if it hasn't been broadcast yet. I also feel the nominator provides insufficient rationale for nominating, as it looks like a case of WP:OSTRICH as it now stands. Why do you feel this major event is somehow not notable? 23skidoo (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Obvious Keep: Clearly notable. DCEdwards1966 (talk) 19:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. I think others have said it all really.--Michig (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Very Strong Keep reason is quite obvious really! per everyone else. TheProf | Talk 21:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
