[edit] Naill Coll

Fails WP:VAIN. Gives no indication of why subject should be deemed notable. Name of subject is misspelt anyway! Pathlessdesert 21:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete A google search shows he is in fact an author of a couple of books, but then I have no idea if those books have ever been bought outside his own family from the information in this article. It's horribly NPOV (e.g. "A esteemed recounteur, he is in much demand socially; he is known to have the ability to brighten up otherwise dull situations" which screams out WP:VAIN per nom), but that could be cleaned up if someone can give evidence of notability. -Markeer 21:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
  • He's a university lecturer, so I reckon this is a joke article written by one of his students and not a case of vanity (I doubt a university professor would spell his own name wrong!). He has written two books, Amazon rank 381,052 and amazon rank 1,788,627 and there are no Google hits outside of bookshops selling those (not even newspaper reviews) so doesn't appear to be notable.

  • Delete as above. Also, the article contains three other spelling mistakes, which I feel an educationalist would not make.--Anthony.bradbury 23:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
