Bryan Sinclair
There are a few reasons for my decision to propose deletion:

1) The notability of the person in question. Bryan Sinclair is not well known, and he has been described as "a guy who was employed by Don to make sure that the halls are open at public meetings to put out the chairs, to make sure the microphone works and to give them a cuppa tea when the meeting's over" by former National Party Deputy Leader Gerry Brownlee.

2) Even if people who put out chairs and make cups of tea were relevant for inclusion in Wikipedia, the article is so hagiographical it would need to be fundamentally re-written. The article overstates Sinclair's seniority as a political advisor, includes pointless information ("An ever colourful character, Sinclair once topped the George FM breakfast show “Hot list” (August 2002), after successfully persuading overseas artists to make their music videos in New Zealand and Australia").

3) This article was put up by someone who posted no articles, other than the one about Bryan Sinclair. This proves nothing, but the original poster was able to post obscure information (that Bryan Sinclair topped the "hot list" of a small radio station seven years ago. I suspect this article was written by Mr Sinclair as a piece of self promotion.--Bobtheretrospoodledor (talk) 06:07, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete If there are no better references for something notable than are in the article, I don';t think it can stand.DGG (talk) 10:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I couldn't find any references to support notability either.-- S Marshall  Talk / Cont  14:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
