Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David mytton

This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was slightly unclear, but I am calling this a no consensus keep. 6d-3k is borderline, but the deciding factor here is Uncle G's comment based on David Mytton's publications and authorship. That argument for notability has never been rebutted except by assertions of non-notability. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Managing directors of companies are notable. Grace Note 07:01, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence of notability. --fvw* 07:08, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Grace Note is wrong. Being a managing director does not make a person notable. The Wikipedia:criteria for inclusion of biographies list no such criterion. (Nor should it, since being a managing director does not imply that humans know anything at all about one.) However, they do list being a published author of books and in periodicals with a reasonably large circulation; and this person has published articles in International PHP Magazine, which appears to be such a periodical, and written a book. It would have helped had the article mentioned this. International PHP Magazine's own biography of this person tells us that he is a 16-year-old, by the way. Keep.

  • Uncle G, Wikipedia:criteria for inclusion of biographies is not a policy. ··gracefool |☺ 23:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Neither is WP:MUSIC, but it has the power of consensus. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:36, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
      • If it had consensus, it would be policy. If you think it has consensus, you should submit it to become a policy, and it will succeed. ··gracefool |☺ 07:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Uncle G. 16 year old "managing directors" are not notable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 06:59, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep ··gracefool |☺ 23:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
