[edit] Kevin Bailey

Vanity, no evidence of notability. Delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:51, 21 August 2005 (UTC) PS. Please direct comments longer than 25 words to the discussion page, Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Kevin Bailey. Thanks in advance.

• Article does not establish notability. Userfy to User:Kevinb3. Sietse 19:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless Kevinb3 wishes to use it as his user page in which case Userfy as per Sietse. Subject is IMO at the edge of notability, notable enough that there are two articles, one actual (International Typeface Corporation) and one potential (Type Directors Club), that if expanded far enough, he would merit a brief mention in.

• Keep (changed from reserved) based on the current contents this entry is acceptable. I have given a heads up to Kevinb3, to look here, I also think it's likely to be 'Userfy' issue. Alf 09:47, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment This is not an article, it's a stub attached to lists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_designers The list also includes links to various other lists all the way down the food chain to lists of fonts not created in major foundries; i.e. freeware type designers who are listed alphabetically. I intend to be somewhat of a watchdog in this realm of the database and can see where improvements and better organization can improve the integrity within this category. Respectfully, It would be my hope that those that are not trained in this particular discipline can abstain from being too critical. You can trust that the community for which this information serves will be deliberate and expedient in maintaining the quality of the data as typophiles become increasingly aware of this expanding database. From the bylaws of Wikipedia: "Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion."Kevinb3 14:39, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and see the related [entry] and vote for deletion over there as well. Entirely non-notable. Ok, I'll cancel my delete vote for this given the change in bio material. Dottore So 16:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn in the A7 sense — if the user wants it userfied, they should let someone know. -Splash 22:07, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn. --Etacar11 03:41, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I'll second Splash's weak keep. --Etacar11 22:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment There's a British poet called Kevin Bailey who I've now knocked up a stub for. Thoughts? Hiding talk 21:19, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, a little weakly. Has 3 published anthologies (or somethings), and, although none of them ranks especially highly on Amazon, having more than a couple, being a judge for a comp and founding a magzine probably add up to about make it. -Splash 22:39, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
