[edit] Dr. Murray Banks
No possible assertion of notability (claims seems complete nonsense as they are practically impossible to source). Stuff that essentially could be proved appears to not satisfy WP:BIO. asenine say what? 21:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Delete — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironholds (talk • contribs)
- Comment I think he was actually WP-notable in his time. He published books and, in the fashion of the day, records[1] (in those days, people made records instead of starting a web page), and lectured somewhat widely. This transcript (click the orange box) calls him "professor of psychology turned world famous comedian Dr. Murray Banks". He's quoted in a couple of Google Books. There aren't that many online sources about him, though. Note that there's no connection with the musical/film Stop the World - I Want to Get Off other than the title. --Dhartung | Talk 01:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Even if he himself satisfies WP:BIO, this dead end article is a nonstarter. If there is a source covering his publications and/or his career in comedy, a new article about him would be in order here. B.Wind (talk) 05:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
