[edit] James H Lyons

James H Lyons (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

There are no provided sources for this article and nor are any independent ones to be found by a Google search. There are few claims to notability. No Retreat No Surrender

  • Delete, fails WP:BIO, no external sources. The only claims to notability are getting a photo featured on the front page at fotopic.net (if I get an article featured on the Wikipedia front page, does that make me notable?), opening a photo gallery and being listed in a web directory.

  • Delete per nom. You don't "have to be a god" to be on Wikipedia, you just have to be notable, and this fellow isn't; according to his webpage, he's a college student who wants to be a photographer. [1] That isn't enough to sustain notability. RGTraynor 15:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, no WP:RS indicating subject meets WP:BIO. Author appears to consent to deletion per latest version of article, so can possibly be CSD G7ed. --Kinu t/c 21:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

" I the author has place the page back up as i feel the person deserves a page. I do not consent to deletion" User:Theno2003


  • Keep, Person is notable in the area of havering. I feel on the grounds of what i have been shown and from i have heard from the local area, as the person lives in the same area as i do. I feel "James H Lyons" Is notable enough to stay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.132.229.225 (talk) 02:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

  • Glad you asked. Follow this link: Wikipedia: Reliable Sources. Boiled down, "reliable sources" involve citations in mainstream print media, publications in non-vanity-press books and magazines and the like. RGTraynor 21:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, no verifiable information sufficient to establish notability. TheMindsEye 21:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
