[edit] Rhys McInerney

I removed a speedy tag from this as it asserts some notability, but the assertion seems pretty weak. Reads like a vanity bio for an Australian teenager, except that he was on TV a couple of times. However, he obviously didn't make much of a splash as Google returns nothing on either of his names and the references don't actually mention him. The awards he allegedly won don't seem very notable either, and I can't verify that he actually won them. His notability seems unlikely to increase in the near future as he's too busy with his exams to concentrate on his showbuisness career. Creator ignored my concerns about notability and verifiability to insert more quotes instead. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 09:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Disclosure: I added the original speedy tag. The revision then was considerably shorter and met the criteria for an A7, and did not appear as though it was a work-in-progress. However, even now that it's been expanded, I don't see anything worth keeping. This search string on Google: "World Comedy Tour Melbourne 2005 Rhys McInerney -site:www.imdb.com" should have returned something useful if it indeed existed, but all hits were irrelevant. Delete as non-notable and largely unencyclopedic (quotes section, at the least). Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't verify any of this and, given the apparent age of the individual, strongly think it's vanity/nonsense. I tried various approaches to searching within the television programme All Saints and found nothing. Accounting4Taste —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
