Alan Waddell

 * (View AfD)

While I have heard of this gentleman, his treks through Sydney and his website, I don't see him as important enough to justify an article (certainly not this paen to him anyway). The fact that one of the article's editors may well be related to him doesn't help either. --Roisterer 07:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was going to vote Keep until I saw the article.  It reads like a press release.  While I'm a fan of Alan's, and believe he may be notable enough for an article (although perhaps not, as it's unlikely many people outside of Sydney would know who he is...), I think what is here has no real value. --ozzmosis 21:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Article not usable in current format. --Mattinbgn/talk 21:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Wikify certainly passes WP:BIO, but its a very, very poor article and yes, more like a press release at present. Somone with some knowledge and a little bit of time could make an interesting article with all the hits I got from a quick search on Google. Rgds, - Trident13 21:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I'll change to keep if someone does a rewrite. I suspect the gentleman is notable, but this article isn't. Realkyhick 17:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Instead of just talking about how bad the page was I went ahead and improved it a bit. It's easy to criticise an article, but I would encourage everyone to go ahead and do something about it.--Ng.j 02:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment My nomination for this article (see above) was based on the issue of whether he was notable enough for an article, not on the quality of the article. --Roisterer 03:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep subject has been disussed in over 100 media articles, including the SF Chron. Jerry 20:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
