Talk:Eli Woods

Contesting Proposed Deletion
Hi. I object to this article's proposed deletion. My grounds are that as a stage-partner of the great Jimmy James, Eli Woods was for many years an indespensible part of a very famous UK music-hall act, and therefore is an important figure in the history and tradition of British stage comedy.

The article as it stands is, of course, disappointing -- a measure, perhaps, of the way that the tradition which Woods represents does not as yet have much of a 'web presence' and is completely unknown to editors and contributors in the USA. I will have a look for a few serious sources to see what material I can add. Pfistermeister (talk) 15:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I have removed the prod because he's clearly notable and, as Pfistermeister says, references are hard to come by on the web. This one shows notability: http://books.google.com/books?id=indZAAAAMAAJ&q="Eli+Woods"&dq="Eli+Woods"&lr=&as_brr=0&ei=RpgCSqqAGpWWkATwk-X9DQ&pgis=1 -- The displayed exerpt says (from the Google search exerpt): "Pete Postlethwaite (screwing with both pig detector Paterson's head and his wife) is painfully callous and there are even cameos from the likes of Eli Woods ..."


 * I will continue with the Google searches for useful references. Mark Hurd (talk) 08:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Re the 1982 Royal Variety Show and further to my edit I note that James Casey is credited with playing Jimmy James (his father) in that show in the article on James Casey Spinney Hill (talk) 15:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
