[edit] Robert Saxon
This article appears to be claiming its subject is notable in the UK entertainment industry, but the only available sources are geocities sites which may have even been written by the subject himself. It may not be possible to have an article about this subject which is compliant with the verifiability and NPOV policies, or the WP:BIO guidelines. -- zzuuzz(talk) 19:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Article states subject directed plays, but fails to say where and with whom. The only reputable reference sources cited don't have dates or article names. The article gives the impression that he performed for Madonna, but a closer inspection indicates that he performed in a private suite at the stadium where Madonna was singing. Nothing there satisfies WP:BIO or WP:V. Caknuck 22:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep With a substantial rewrite, nonetheless. This is an article with potential, but needs a cleanup and removal of weasel words and NPOV statements. The article does have a number of sources that I believe could be better utilized to provide a more balanced and factual encyclopedia entry. --Xnuala 11:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone can verify notability using reliable sources. The links presently in the article still don't do this. I used the "search" function on the The Stage's web site and came up with nothing. A Google search on "Robert Saxon" + Phoenix turned up nothing from a reliable source to verify notability. Perhaps this person will be eligible for a Wikipedia article in the future as his career advances. --A. B. (talk) 20:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have just checked on LexisNexis for any mentions of Robert Saxon in the UK national or regional papers during the last 20 years: nothing, not one mention (unless he is also a sex offender from Preston now aged either 38 or 39 - see the Lancashire Evening Post, September 2, 2004). TestBed

- Keep The article is a bit effusive (nothing that an experienced editor can't cure) but the subject is notable. All it needs is a cleanup and more specific references will improve the verifiability. LittleOldMe 11:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
