Talk:John Nettleship

Notability
I agree...this is most definitely not worthy of being added to an encyclopedia. The man never did anything except scare JK Rowling enough to make her angry chemist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.164.167 (talk) 15:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

This is a footnote in a Harry Potter wiki, it is not worthy of mention in an encyclopedia. 184.228.169.174 (talk) 03:22, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * His notability in WP terms is demonstrated by multiple independent sources. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

No offence, but I fail to see how he is notable enough to have an entry in an encyclopedia. The "sources" are more like the usual media gossip built around a famous and successful franchise. In brief, I think this article should be nominated for deletion. 65.255.37.169 (talk) 22:50, 25 August 2012 (UTC) I'm proposing this article for deletion. 5.116.30.38 (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed - Mr Nettleship certainly doesn't warrant his own page. I've consequently nominated this for deletion. Gymnophoria (talk) 16:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

I agree too!! Poor man! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.241.29 (talk) 08:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is widely asserted that he was a major inspiration for a major character (Severus Snape) in a major series of books (Harry Potter) by a major author (J. K. Rowling). This is a credible claim of significance. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I've removed the speedy deletion nomination, because it doesn't appear to qualify as such based off of its assertion of importance and references. If anything, an AfD discussion would be better, based off of the discussion above this one. Lugia2453 (talk) 16:49, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
