[edit] David Roati

David Roati (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Non-notable TV worker. Australian community TV credits are the highpoints of this career: that, and claims of producing numerous commercials for Australian TV networks and technical work on a DVD. No real sources, of course. Fails basic WP:BIO. PROD tag added but removed without comment. Calton | Talk 01:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


I have a vested interest in this page. David Roati has produced documentaries which are sourced. These documentaries are widely available throughout Australia. Are you implying that a director is not noteable? These documentaries are sourced. Micca12145 04:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Specifying those sources, would be a start. We need to verify that the information in this article is correct, and I'm afraid we can't just take your word for it. He is mentioned in the only source as winning several minor "outstanding student" awards at his school, but no mention of television or DVD work. If you want the article to stay, reliable sources will be need. Delete unless very compelling sources appear. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 05:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete A glance at Micca12145's contribs sure makes it look like he's David Roati, and a vandal as well, here, here, and here, for starters. I've edited out most of them. Static Universe 18:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Article does not contain sources. Further, a search of Google News Archives [1] and Google News comes up with nothing [2]. This may even be a speedy delete if Micca12345 created the article. Capitalistroadster 01:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

  • do not delete because you are all just being difficult. Why cant you just leave the page up? Check the external links!...the information is sourced!

  • My dear sir! I must confess that your rapier wit and iron-clad logic are completely unanswerable! Well played, sir, well played! --Calton | Talk 04:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
