[edit] Marc Davenport

Marc Davenport (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

An unreferenced under-referenced article about an actor and former U.S. soldier know for his work with a small theater group in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Other claims to fame are described in the article as "rumours". Contested prod. ×Meegs 04:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. At worst, a hoax. At best, falls far short of notability standard of WP:BIO. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Assuming this is real -- largely here to tell a hero-worshippy brush with greatness tale. No indication of notability whatsoever. --Dhartung | Talk 05:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: This person appears to be (assuming the article's information is accurate--I was unable to verify it) an obscure local actor. TheScotch (talk) 06:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. A biographical article can't be based on rumors. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and actresses-related deletion discussions. -- the wub "?!" 14:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Claims. Rumors. Only source is self-published. Um... no. DarkAudit (talk) 17:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Retain. This article, though about a semi-obscure actor/singer/soldier, is cited in a published interview about him conducted by someone named "Steve Stottlemyre". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.27.1.3 (talk) 15:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment:
1. An editor's votes should have more force, I should think, when he actually signs in.
2. Since no Wikipedia article can be a valid source for another Wikipedia article, it follows that the "publishing" of a Wikipedia article cannot be a valid reason for retaining it. TheScotch (talk) 22:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
