[edit] Dr Edward Lestrade

Despite all of the words, I don't see that this person is particularly notable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, it's a horribly written article that makes repeated attempts to establish its own notability, but the subject does appear to have published a number of scholarly articles and books that might make the threshold for notability. With enough clean-up it might survive. Peyna 06:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If he's so notable, someone else can write the article especially for Wikipedia instead of copying and pasting from another site. JHMM13 06:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment This article is a copyright violation. JHMM13 06:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete the BBC site is a self-authored encyclopedia. Dlyons493 Talk 10:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as nn-bio and copyvio. Turnstep 15:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. First and foremost this is a copyvio from [1] - BBC asserts copyright over all content of h2g2, whatever its source. Second, this is the h2g2 researcher's sole edit and is not part of the "edited guide" (the subediting process that turns, essentially, user subpages into substantive content). Third, even though I suspect the guy might be notable, this article is so blatantly WP:VAIN that WP will be better off if we delete it and wait for a neutral person to create it (which, if he genuinely is notable, will happen). Oh, and the author's sole contribs have been this article and linking it from Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Lestrade (now reverted). Aside: can someone teach me how to use the copyvio template some time? - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 18:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
