[edit] Jeremy Lynch

Jeremy Lynch (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) Adding "clone" as the one is an obious typo of the other. Dlohcierekim 02:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Very little notability asserted, beyond the fact that he was on Britain's Got Talent and acting in a documentary. Article is written in a very slanted, pov-y manner (e.g., "...amazed the judges with his skills, turning sport into entertainment..."). --/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 02:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Also note the clone article Jeremy Lynch which is almost a complete copy of this one. --/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 02:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • 'Amazed the judges' was on the official Britain's Got Talent site, and 'turning sport into entertainment' was a quote from Amanda Holden, one of the three judges, in the audition. The article's neutrality can be changed, and this would help much more than deletion. Acting on a documentary and performing on Britain's Got Talent - I'd say there is no reason whatsoever to delete this article. I think Jeremy Lynch was made by someone who saw Jeremy lynch and knew it was a spelling error and so made a new one with correct spelling. Delete the first and keep the second. - Sparrowgoose - 15:46, 30 May 2008 (HKT)
  • Comment A couple of other recently created pages where Britain's Got Talent was the primary source were speedy deleted under A7: George Sampson and Michael Machell. Mallocks (talk) 07:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
    I speedied those - I did not feel this one was an appropriate A7, as there is a further assertion of notability (the documentary appearance). I would still argue delete, based on minimal notability at this time, however. Neıl 龱 08:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The one spelt Jeremy lynch should be deleted, that was a mistake I didn't realise. But Jeremy Lynch is the Best Freestyler in Europe, that counts for something. He also intends to play in the English Premier League and has already played for Arsenal's youth. He's a star now since he was on Britain's Got Talent and there's no reason for him not to have a wikipedia page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zedyish (talk • contribs) 12:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, this one is border line for me. Making the semi finals Britain's Got Talent or the fact he played a major role in a documentary on there own would not be enough but having both makes he think twice. However since he wasn't the main focus point in the documentary I say get rid of this for now. Buc (talk) 13:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. He's got a smidge over the other semi-finalists through his documentary appearance, but I don't think it's enough. That said, I haven't seen the documentary- if it's basically a biography of his life, then maybe. Perhaps if a reference for the 'best freestyler in Europe' can be found. I can see him becoming notable (as I could a good batch of the semi-finalists) but he isn't yet. J Milburn (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Can I also add that there was a batch of these last series, if anyone is interested in 'precedent'- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bessie Cursons closed with a delete, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Connie Talbot was a no consensus, the second was also a no consensus, but coverage and (moderate) chart success since has allowed the article to reach GA. J Milburn (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Connie Talbot been signed by someone and even been in the charts so she is clearly notable. Bessie Cursons on e the other has done nothing other than appear on BGT. Buc (talk) 11:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't believe he is notable enough. пﮟოьεԻ 57 18:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Renowned. Videos also on youtube Maltesedog (talk) 19:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete as he did not win and his fifteen minutes of fame seem to be ending. –thedemonhog talk • edits 03:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't see him being famous after this competition. As well, there's nothing really notable in the article. Joe dawg 9 (talk) 03:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
