[edit] Darin Goldberg
does not meet WP:BIO LeyteWolfer 16:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- The reasoning for the AfD is that the article was ghostwritten by User:Wilhelmina Will for an unregistered editor who hasn't established notability and, frankly, refuses to. When asked to improve the article, the original author instead chose to harass the various participants (including Wilhelmina Will) to the point of being IP-blocked for 72 hours.
- I see no reason to speedily delete, but my doubts arise from concerns that the other ghost-written articles all revolve around other Hollywood writers whom previously have not established notability. The cynic in me is concerned that these might be second-person vanity articles, due to the timing with the current writer's strike in the US. Needless to say, I am not emotionally invested in it, so will not fight for a pro-deletion consensus, if the intent is clear to keep it. Thank you.--LeyteWolfer 16:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. It needs to be said that the article is absolutely not a speedy candidate -- being a Hollywood writer and producer is certainly a claim of notability. I think that being co-producer on Dawson's Creek may be significant enough to make this person notable. What worries me is the verifiability of information which would expand this article, but barring a verifiability issue, it's probably worthy of inclusion. - Revolving Bugbear 18:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Not an A7 candidate, really, but there is no attribution of notability to independent sources, and I found nothing but listings on Google News Archive. Just working on a TV show does not guarantee your own notability as notability is not inherited. --Dhartung | Talk 23:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete for lacking verifiable notability. Being involved with notable TV shows doesn't mean, ipso facto, that Darin Goldberg is a person of importance sufficient to warrant an encylopaedia article. Eddie.willers 04:15, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
