[edit] Darryn lyons

Per the external link, the guy is a British paparazzi. I don't think that's notable, which is why I didn't copyedit the article. NawlinWiki 23:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC) Withdrawing nomination on rewritten article, notability is clear now, nice work Hit Bull! NawlinWiki 15:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, seems to fail WP:BIO. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 23:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Changed to keep, after seeing the new revision that asserts his notability. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 22:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree. Delete. --Natalie 23:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • With the changes to the article, this meets notability. So I'm okay with keeping it. --Natalie 15:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup, including a move to Darryn Lyons. Not all paparazzi are notable, but this particular one (along with the agency he owns/runs) is the subject of a regular TV series on the BBC.[1] He's also been the subject of frequent media mentions, like this biographical article at The Age[2], along with appearances on ABC radio's "The World Today"[3] and George Negus Tonight[4], etc. Oh, and there are a bunch of sources quoting him as an expert on paparazzi, such as this Associated Press article about media coverage of the Jolie-Pitt baby. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I went ahead and moved it to the proper title, then noticed that he was listed at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and Economics under that name. I've also gone ahead and expanded it into what I believe to be a workable stub. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
