Brett Phillips
Reads sort of like vanity for a non-notable radio personality. Delete --Jaranda wat's sup 05:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions.
 * Delete. He may well have written it himself.  --Roisterer 13:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep The tiniest bit of research would reveal that the sole author, User:Rogerthat is a well-established Wikipedian who has started dozens of articles/stubs on Australian media and sportspeople. If this qualifies as a vanity article, I'd have to say Brett is a very modest man indeed. There is no suitable criteria in WP:BIO and the Google test is not applicable. I would have thought the tiniest consideration and respect for the work of other Wikipedians would hold one back from zooming to AfD... like maybe even asking the contributor to expand on the subject's notability... but apparently not. I am disappointed. pfctdayelise 13:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete not vanity but doesnt seem very notable. 'believed to be related' doesnt sound like a good source -- Astrokey44 |talk 14:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Abstain as not familiar with the subject, but Rogerthat seems to be familiar based on past contributions. I have added a tag to it, however. (See talk page.) Essexmutant 15:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the offending assertion and the weasel tag. --kingboyk 21:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have left a comment at Talk:Brett Phillips. Essexmutant 21:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete Doesn't assert notability. (SEN 1116, incidentally, is a local radio station in (lovely) Melbourne, hardly Triple J or Radio 1). --kingboyk 21:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC) Changed to weak delete --kingboyk 09:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC) I've decided to abstain --kingboyk 02:46, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * SEN 1116 is still a notable radio station, so the above comments are inconsequantial. Cnwb 23:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is I am lacking sources on Phillips, which is why it needs to be expanded. That said you will struggle to find sources on the Net for even the most notable Australian people. Rogerthat 00:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Would the average Aussie know who he is? (Not a rhetorical or loaded question). I note by the way that Merrick and Rosso get 13,400 Google hits from Australia alone. --kingboyk 01:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep I trust User:Rogerthat. Also have heard of the name  D a Gizza Chat  (c) 08:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way if noone has ever heard Brett Phillips, go to SEN and listen to him in about 12 hours from now, or if you're in Melbourne, listen to it in your car. Rogerthat 02:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
