fails WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. nothing in gnews, which is very surprising as the article makes a number of claims that one would expect to be reported in the media. LibStar (talk) 01:29, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article links to the wrong ACE award, the one he was allegedly nominated for is this one, info on website only goes back to 2002. Article also claims "nominated for the Australian Entertainment Mo Award for Best New Talent in 1999," there was no such category of Mo Award in 1999 . Whole thing smells fishy, but even if the claims were true, two nominations (not wins) for relatively minor awards does not equal notability. Wine Guy   Talk  11:50, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, having checked sources he was nominated for the John O'Keefe Encouragement Award at the 1999 Mo Awards, not, as the article mistakenly said, the Best New Talent. - Bilby (talk) 07:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC and maybe WP:PROMO.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 01:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete It does appear fishy as you say, nothing on google news.Off2riorob (talk) 03:38, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing fishy in it, as all of the coverage he's had was in local press, which Google News doesn't index. That said, it was only in local press, with only a couple of very brief mentions in major publications, both of which were in reference to buying a house. While it could be argued that he scrapes through with WP:ENTERTAINER, (WP:MUSIC doesn't apply here, as he's a dancer and actor), I think that would be stretching it a tad, as there haven't been that many notable roles claimed. The only bit which makes me pause is the Dance Teachers's prize, but as it only got local coverage I'm inclined to see it as too minor - although perhaps someone more knowledgeable about dancing (pretty much anyone) would be able to confirm that. - Bilby (talk) 03:52, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, your right its not fishy, I was thrown by this link but it really is him. Off2riorob (talk) 03:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see how that link would throw someone. :) - Bilby (talk) 04:01, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
