Unknown local magician using wikipedia to promote himself. Most of the items entered are untrue with no citations and proof Magicadey (talk) 12:28, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Being on the shortlist for Britain's Got Talent is a long way short of what is required to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and even if the claims made in the rest of the article were true (I share the nominator's doubts and Alfie should be concentrating on his studies) they would not in themselves meet the high standards of public recognition we are looking for. --AJHingston (talk) 13:49, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Without judging the merits of this AFD, I will say that I suspect some serious negative conflict of interest between the nominator and the article subject based upon both this AFD and the numerous suspect IP edits to the article over the last 2 days. -- &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  15:36, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The numerous IP edits meant I did not know what I was doing regarding how to set up an article for deletion. I got confused with all the tags 86.146.194.2 (talk) 11:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Immediately prior to ever beginning any deletion process you had four edits to the article, including two where large sections of the article were deleted without explanation. This article has a long history of vandalization and similar unexplained content deletions by IP address users. You can probably see where suspicions of intent may arise. -- &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  11:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment I've just noticed all the past vandalism due to you just mentioning it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.194.2 (talk) 13:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Self-promotion by a non-notable blogger/YouTuber who's gotten a taste of publicity. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:12, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Deletion -- As far as I can make out he is a NN talent show contestant, presumably of limited success. The fact that the article has been subject to vandalism is irrelevant to the question. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:17, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
