[edit] Steve Patterson (comedian)
I contested the speedy deletion (per A7) of this article. Sending to AfD instead. I am Switzerland on notability. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep if sourced better - It needs 3rd party sources and a strong rewrite, but I did see his performance on Just for Laughs and assuming he did tour Ireland, that would seem to satisfy the notability requirements. Torc2 (talk) 19:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep if sourced better is exactly what I was going to say. Third-party sources are needed here. He was nominated for best male stand-up at the Canadian Comedy Awards last year as well [1]. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep -- clear notability, just needs sourcing. SeanMD80talk | contribs 16:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Weak speedy/snowball keep CSD A7 is weak here. No plausible reason to delete, no plausible rationale for deletion. But definitely get more/better refs. --Thinboy00 @219, i.e. 04:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Our biographical articles should reflect what sources have written about the subject, not simply material that the subject publishes about himself. I couldn't find any reliable sources. User:Flowerpotman mentioned the Canadian Comedy Awards, but except for the fact that he was a nominee for some award, I could find nothing more. His name is not found in our article on those awards. He is said to have published humor in the Toronto Star, but I didn't find anything by him in a search. If he has performed a lot, you would expect to find some newspaper reviews of his shows.

- Comment Ooops. My bad, I forgot to add the link to the article that I originally referred to, where he is only mentioned in passing, although that is confirmed by the program page of the radio show he hosts for CBC Radio. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 04:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- He is actually mentioned in the Canadian Comedy Awards 2007 article. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 04:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
