  • KEEP I'd just like to say that I really like chicken schnitzel! Oh, and also keep this article, I'm a teacher too, in Malaysia, and i really feel our profession does not get much recognition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewPhilpott (talk • contribs)
  • KEEP You people sicken me, just because you have no respect for the teaching profession does not mean that others should not have the right to promote the profession. I can guarantee that this man has had a greater positive influence over more people than you negative idiots. If you believe that the only reason somebody would write about their teacher in a positive way was to gain a good mark or to give the teacher a promotion then you obviously went to a pretty sad school. SHAME ON YOU PEOPlE FOR NOT RECOGNISING AN INSPIRATIONAL CAREER!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffbriggs04 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete nothing notable about him. Also, this article mentions he teaches at Trinity Grammar School. A recently speedy-deleted article, Anirudh Hattangadi (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anirudh Hattangadi), is an Australian soccer player who was a student at this same school. Author of this article also contributed to Jason Lee (Tennis Superstar), another Austrailian athelete, whose article is also up for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Lee (Tennis Superstar)). Seems like a group of friends are all getting together and writing vanity or hoax articles about themselves/each other. Wavy G 15:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete yeah, what he said. Comment - either vanity or a student trying to get an A grade. Or a teacher trying to get a payrise. Or... oh forget it. Bubba hotep 22:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Canley 07:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Article fails to assert notability. Smells like a vanity or creation by a fan, biut no place in an encyclopaedia. — Moondyne 10:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Fan page for teachers - what next --Michael Johnson 11:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • "Bryn David Humberstone is a multi-award winning teacher in Australia. A Google search on Bryn Humberstone will reveal relatively few responses, such is the lack of recognition teachers receive in todays society, but that is in no way a fair measure as to the mark of the man himself.", ahahaha.

If you believe that the only reason somebody would write about their teacher in a positive way was to gain a good mark or to give the teacher a promotion then you obviously went to a pretty sad school. As for the Jason Lee webpage, the reason this user created that page was because Jason Lee is a tennis player with significant performances in many events such as the Australian Open Grandslam junior division. I am sure that this is far more than you people will ever achieve.
As for Bryn Humberstone he is a great man who has managed to make maths enjoyable for year 10 to 12 students, surely this is a feat worth noting (it is maths afterall) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nich20 (talk • contribs)
Comment, Wikipedia is an encyclopædia, not a publicity agent. Lankiveil 09:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC).
Additional comment having an effect on twelve students does not equate notability--in fact, I would say it is the exact opposite. He may be a great teacher, and kudos to him for whatever it is that he has done, but he does not meet the notablity requirements of Wikipedia. Wavy G 05:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This man is not notable at all sounds like self promotion, he gets kids to like maths, good for him where is the proof though. I had teachers who won awards too but there aren't articles about each of them. If it's not deleted it needs a big clean up, it sounds like it was writen by one of his students.
