[edit] Todd Simmons

Todd Simmons (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. Non-notable actor/writer, possible COI issues as well. Katr67 (talk) 23:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Oregon-related deletions. —Katr67 (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I'd say non-notable since literally thousands can claim "small parts" in a movie, written articles; the "Improv" connection does not by itself merit this article. Shiva_eVolved 23:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable --Hu12 (talk) 00:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This man's biggest claim to notability is as a journalist, and he wrote only in local papers. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 00:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Don't delete. Two separate New York Times sources verified[[User:fladgyglitz] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fladgyglitz (talk • contribs) 20:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep There are links to two separate New York Times reviews in the articles. It appears that he meets WP:NOTABILITY. --Sharkface217 23:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment one of those links appears to be dead (this is after I logged into NYT). I'm not convinced the other article confers notability. I remember hearing about some of the other pranks on NPR, but that makes me think it might make more sense to merge Simmons into the article on Improv Everywhere for now.

• KeepThis link seems to work where you thought it was dead in New York Times: http://theater2.nytimes.com/mem/theater/treview.html?_r=1&res=9C04EFD81130F936A15751C0A9669C8B63&oref=slogin user:fladgyglitz —Preceding comment was added at 19:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC) — Fladgyglitz (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Comment Please note you can't !vote more than once. See WP:AFD for more information about deletion discussions. And I'd say the brief mention in this review does nothing to establish Simmons' notability. Katr67 (talk) 22:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
