[edit] The Purple Man

I originally put this up for Speedy but the tags were removed by someone other than the original author. A NN street artist fails WP:BIO Fredrick day 11:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

No, I think this article should be kept or at least merged with another article about street performers Plus, the links that the user provided show that the person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.139.211.181 (talk • contribs) 12:19, 20 may 2007.

what links? the article contains a single link to his own site - which consists of a single page with his email address and contact details. As a street performer, he is entirely Non-notable. --Fredrick day 11:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

No. I meant the links on the talk page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.139.211.181 (talk • contribs) 12:32, 20 may 2007.

the first is an article about football which is discussing how people are getting ready for a match and he is mentioned in passing (because he plans to watch it from a bed of nails) - he is not the subject of the article so that fails WP:RS, the second is about his border troubles and again is not about his career as a street performer. He is not notable as a street performer and therefore fails WP:BIO. --Fredrick day 11:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

If he was not notable neither of these links would have been avaliable. Anywho, I have a couple of friends who visited England and said they saw him in York. They were therefore interested in reading the article. Case Closed.

The debate is cleary over. You can let it go now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.211.181 (talk • contribs)

em no it runs for five days or may be be closed earlier if the consenus of multiple editors is clearly showing it should be saved or deleted before that time is up.--Fredrick day 12:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
