Craig Herbertson

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

It's claimed that he's a notable author, a notable actor, a notable musician, a notable songwriter, a notable illustrator. Yet the entire history of the GoogleNews archive throws up absolutely nothing of note. Instead, the facts are that as an author he fails WP:BK, as an actor he fails WP:ENTERTAINER, and as a musician and songwriter he fails WP:MUSIC. This is a WP:single-purpose account that, so far, has expressed no interest in contributing anything to Wikipedia apart from Mr. Herbertson's biography, Mr. Herbertson's non-notable fantasy novel, and an anthology that Mr. Herbertson once appeared in, and then peppering other articles with spamlinks to Mr. Herbertson and all of his doings.

 * Strong Delete. SPA devoted to this person maybe with a COI.  The non-notability listed above, to me, makes this a delete. Minkythecat (talk) 12:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear, this was not my intention. I am Mr Herbertson's wife and sometimes do his promotional work. I didn't think this was promotional though.

I am German and although I am more or less fluent I didn't read all the criteria. I was more concerned with trying to make the article function. I see now the mistake - this notability part. (and conflict of interest) I also wasn't peppering, just trying to respond to the need for references.

Google says this if you google 'herbertson' and 'emerald city':

But I now appreciate that isn't notable enough because it is not multiple. And I think that these critics of the music would probably not be either. I can delete all the articles and references if you want. Sorry! Silkekingofthedirigibles (talk) 15:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete no NPOV, little notability, also odd that it says he's divorced, yet the above poster is his wife? Shoombooly (talk) 02:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
