The result was   delete. Notable for a single event when they were a minor. Nothing else to establish further notability. Add these limited notability items to the desire to remove by the subject, the pointer clearly leans to delete (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:33, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

*Delete "Normally we only delete an article based on the subject's request if there is a BLP issue at stake and there are privacy concerns" That is the exact reason why the wikipedia page needs to be taken down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xrnfna78 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards delete - I will say that he has accomplished quite a reputation with Billy Elliot including the Tony Award but he hasn't gained much work aside from that especially if he finished his time with that play two years ago. Google News found a minor mention through this 2012 interview with one of the cast members of Billy Elliot and Google News archives, unsurprisingly, found several results for Billy Elliot.

 * Keep - This is crazy talk. The kid won a TONY and there is significant editorial coverage. The subject has no publicity rights over his wikipedia article. Passes WP:GNG by a mile. What if Bill Gates doesn't like his article?--Nixie9 (talk) 02:04, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep There are plenty of sources that establish notability and the fact that he's won a Tony pretty much clinches it. He's notable, passing WP:GNG. Normally we only delete an article based on the subject's request if there is a BLP issue at stake and there are privacy concerns. The fact is, he's a performer, so he's a public figure. Had he still been a minor that may have been a consideration but he's 18 and has chosen to be a public figure. If not now, the article would have been eventually created.  freshacconci  talk talk  03:17, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The last and only thing this kid did as a performer was Billy Elliot when he was 15. Since then he has not done anything else and is just living a normal life and will most likely keep doing so. Respect his privacy, What is the point of keeping a wikipedia page on a kid that hasn't done anything after the age of 15 and plans on keeping to himself. Respect his privacy I say again.

 * The article states that he is currently in a performing arts school so it looks like performing will continue to be his future (unless that statement is not accurate). In any case, sometimes people are only notable for one thing and if that one thing is significant and well-sourced a Wikipedia article is appropriate. By BLP issue I mean an issue pertaining to WP:BLP which does not seem to apply here. By privacy, I mean that there is a concern for their privacy based on appearing in Wikipedia. Again, this is not the case. The fact is, his name and likeness are on many other media outlets other than Wikipedia. Deleting this article will not permit him any more privacy since you can simply google his name and find plenty of hits. There are no apparent privacy concerns so there are no compelling reasons to delete the article.  freshacconci  talk talk  21:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I know David personally, he is not currently in a performing Arts school. I am doing this with his consent. He gave a very good reason of why he wanted it down and I am doing him a favor in asking this page to be deleted, he wants it down for personal reasons that he doesn't feel comfortable sharing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xrnfna78 (talk • contribs) 23:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Billy Elliot the Musical. He is only really known for that one show. Most of the content of this article is about things other than the role for which he is known, so I don't see a compelling reason to keep given the request to delete. --Michig (talk) 08:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
