Alan Carter (Pilot)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

As I said in the prod tag that was removed by an IP without further improvement to the article: if a flight instruction video was this man's only TV appearance, he is neither an actor, nor is he notable under Wikipedia criteria (one event). Later, it was added that he also appeared in other, similar features, but I don't think that it justifies an article. De728631 (talk) 00:22, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A multitude of people would meet such a notability criterion. By the author's admission, "there [is] nowhere else on the internet that you can find information about him", which, these days, is somewhat of a testimony to lack of notability. &mdash; BillC talk 01:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. JJL (talk) 02:22, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO. I found a few sources on Google for "alan carter pilot" but it's just some videos of Alan Carter giving tours of airplanes. Big deal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jd027 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no notability, no independent references. If he is 'highly regarded as one of the worlds best Boeing 747-400 captains', then why is he currently working for an airline that doesn't operate the type? . . Rcawsey (talk) 17:14, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The fact that he has produced aviation videos may not seem like a big deal to some of you but the teachings of Christainity may not be a big deal to Hindus does that mean that they shouldn't be on wikipedia too? Your argument and logic are floored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kookaburra125 (talk • contribs) 11:05, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete Alan is well known amoungst flight enthusistasts and has made more than one appearance as it states on his page, just because you've never heard of him doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a page, the whole point of wikipedia is to educate and seeing as the two above commentors don't know who he is then he justifies a page. &mdash; 10:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kookaburra125 (talk • contribs)
 * WP:BIO gives guidance on what establishes notability for a person. You need to establish your case from material that is on that page. For example, has he "received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them"? Or has he "made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field"? &mdash; BillC talk 19:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, you have already made a comment (in Wikipedia parlance, a !vote) on this page. You need to be clear that both comments come from you. I have moved your comment so it's clear they are both yours. You are free to make further edits as you wish, but please don;t let it look like it was two different people. &mdash; BillC talk 19:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete no evidence of notability. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
