[edit] Worley Thorne

Tagged as WP:CSD#A7 but notability is asserted. I would be amazed if the author, user:Flyingw was not the subject. Guy (Help!) 14:01, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless there is evidence of non-trivial coverage. At the moment, he doesn't meet the notability guidelines for people. Trebor 14:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The IMDb credentials seem respectable. --Eastmain 18:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Agreed. Keep. DS 21:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• A lot of those entries are for a couple of episodes in a long-running series. Where are the reliable secondary sources of which he has been primary subject? Oh, Flyingw acknowledges he is Thorne. Guy (Help!) 23:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Doesn't IMDb count as a reliable secondary source? --Eastmain 23:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Perhaps for listing someone's body of work (but the trivia pages shouldn't be used as a reference), but it's just directory information. There doesn't seem to be coverage beyond listing what he's worked on, so I don't see how he's been a primary subject of a source. Trebor 13:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete seems like he's had rather minor roles, and is just inflating them. Possibly notable, but if he is, it's right on the line -- feb^talk 01:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - I'm not sure how to interpret WP:BIO on this one. On the one hand, it says "Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions." On the other hand, this person was a screenwriter, not an actor. On the third hand, WP:BIO doesn't really provide much direction that pertains to screenwriters (nor should we expect it to). I think that this person's work is probably notable and that we should err on the side of inclusion with this one. That having been said, the article has definite POV issues ("long successful career" and whatnot) that should be cleaned up in any event. Seventypercent 04:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:BIO. See the lists on the pages, she is one among a lot of writers for certain series. -- MaNeMeBasat 14:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete roles played are minorSlideAndSlip 21:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
