Chris Philpott

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I removed the db-bio tag from the article because A7 does not apply; notability is asserted by him receiving the Comedy Magician Award and his appearance on ITV News. However, there is little coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. This Google News Archive search (with the search term: "Chris Philpott" magician) returns one article from the local newspaper, the Isle of Wight County Press. My other searches for sources have returned no substantial results. If more sources can be found, I will withdraw this AfD. At present, the article fails Notability (biographies) and Verifiability.

 * Delete. I can't comment on the ITV News coverage, but the newspaper article is simply a human interest story. The Comedy Magician Award doesn't seem to be the subject of news coverage, so receiving it is unlikely to be an encyclopaedic achievement. Chris Philpott may become a celebrity in the future, but isn't there yet. EALacey (talk) 12:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Disappear. Abracadabra, this person is not notable.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 18:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced BLP, no apparent reason for notability. Raising £140 for charity is not notable and neither is having a career. --FormerIP (talk) 17:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
