[edit] David shea

David shea (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Actor. The assertion of notability is "Best known for his role in the Dewmay production of Elements (currently in post-production),". Being most notable for something that isn't yet released is not usualy very notable. In this case I can't find anything that can make this comply to WP:BIO.

• Keep According to the "notability" guidelines, (and they are just that, guidelines not rules) it states importance. I feel Mr. Shea should have an article because, although he is not well known yet, when this movie comes out, he will be. By that time, someone else will have made a page for him, and I like to feel I've done my part to help the rising stars from my hometown. From the buzz Ive been hearing, this movie, Elements, is slated to be released in local theaters in March, and the Sci-Fi channel is already in discussions to purchase it. Nor will this be the last time we hear of Mr. Shea. I've seen him perform on stage and hes quite gifted. However, I did not include any of this information in the bio because I felt I should stick to proven facts so far. Trust me, within the next year, Mr. Shea WILL be considered notable, I just want to get the jump on creating the bio.

• Delete - very forward looking statements violating WP:CRYSTAL. I can find no press coverage for David Shea. His IMDB entry shows only two acting roles that are both un-named bit parts. There is no entry for the movie Elements, and in fact, I cannot even find the movie on IMDB, or any press coverage for it. There are no reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 17:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment You know what, fine. If it makes all the cyber-geeks feel better about themselves by playing God and being able to delete people they deem "unworthy", then go have your fun. Let the real people do the real work.

• Delete. "although he is not well known yet, when this movie comes out, he will be. By that time, someone else will have made a page for him, and I like to feel I've done my part to help the rising stars from my hometown." That's exactly the point. When he becomes well-known, then he gets a page. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Kodemunky, please understand this is not personal to you or Mr. Shea, but there are a set of criteria (WP:BIO) that someone needs to meet before having an article listed on Wikipedia. Once he meets it, by all means, recreate the article. Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per all above; once he's proved this great gift of talent and is recognized by reviewers then please feel free to recreate. In the mean time, try to avoid insulting other users; realize that this isn't a personal issue, but rather an issue of policy. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 23:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
