[edit] Daniel O'Connor

Unsuccessful contestant on Australian Idol, and now a bit-part actor on Australian soap-opera. his imdb entry credits him with 5 appearances on Neighbours since idol. All in all, he's not even borderline WP:BIO, IMHO. Ohconfucius 05:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Quite the opposite actually.... I myself don't watch Neighbours, however, looking at the article, it says he is a regular character in the show since 2005, definitely more than "5 appearances". He also has his own character profile in the website. RaNdOm26 06:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as he has established notability beyond the game show as one of the actors in one of the top TV shows in Australia. 23skidoo 13:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Continued career merits a stub, minor notability. - Denny 00:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep He plays a major character on Neighbours, and IMDB is an very unreliable source to use as regards how many episodes he has appeared in. There's an article in the Herald-Sun about him today actually. --Canley 03:01, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep IMDb isnt considered a WP:RS at FA so deleting an article because Imdb doesnt have correct detail is only an indication of how unreliable imdb is Gnangarra 04:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Canley 03:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, "notability" established before Neighbours as a reality contestant finalist. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Is notable. He is a regular and major character on the show which is shown to millions of people in the UK, so is notable. Also what Gnangarra said. DanielT5 14:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above. QazPlm 01:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I can't believe this AfD was even started. Kogsquinge 06:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment I think if you look, one was started on all the unsuccessful contestants most of whom ARE non notable but this one and one or two others are different DanielT5 14:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep He is very well known in Australia - he has featured in almost every Neighbours episode since he started in 2005 - he has appeared on other television shows including 'Thank god you're here', 'Australia's Brainiest' (quiz show), 'Ready Steady Cook' - he was nominated for a Logie for Best New Talent - Male (top television awards show in Australia). He has featured on numerous magazine covers. He is very well-recognised in Australia. (UTC)
• Keep, I wish both Idol and Neighbours would go away, but there are a lot of dull people who enjoy Neighbours - enough to make regular actors notable. Lankiveil 04:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
