[edit] Patrick Beardmore

Patrick Beardmore (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No verifiable third-party sources provided. The link to BAFTA doesn't even mention Patrick Beardmore. And this article about Patrick Beardmore was created by--guess who?--Patrick Beardmore[1]. Google hits are thin and mostly self-generated. Looks like a classic case of teenage self-promotion. Qworty (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete: This article does not meet notability criteria. It is shameless self-publication. Richard75 (talk) 01:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - twoud appear that the facts are represented in the article are in fact correct. The BAFTA website does contain the information on the nomination, and I've updated the link to link to the correct page. Does this make him notable? I don't know. A BAFTA nomination I suppose is pretty notable. Canterbury Tail talk 01:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, notability to come. Nominated for an award is not the same as winning it, although I'm not entirely sure that the "Children's BAFTA" awards are themselves notability-conferring. Considering that the competition included several weeks of instruction, it's more like a summer camp. --Dhartung | Talk 07:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Summer Camp - While the BAFTA website is poorly written, none of the winners (nominees) were on the summer camps. Those were just stunts at the launch. A nation competition then happened, which Patrick Beardmore seems to have almost won, and that was judged by a British Academy panel. Seems like a bona fida competition to me. 213.44.5.51 (talk) 09:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment (I already voted) — "almost won" a children's competition isn't exactly notable though, is it? If he had actually won it, or if he "almost won" the Nobel Prize, then fine. Richard75 (talk) 16:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - this article just doesn't seem to be notable. iMatthew 2008 11:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: Nominated for an award, LEGO filming, very common stuff, really. Utgard Loki (talk) 16:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. The BAFTA award is enough. Spoonkymonkey (talk) 16:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
