Doctor Who Restoration Team
So they have a website and forum, and they get into Wikipedia? Frankly I don't see why they really need their own article. It's only really relavent for mentions in articles on Doctor Who DVD releases, not an entire article. FredOrAlive 23:14, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete as I said above. - FredOrAlive 23:14, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not just a bunch of fans. These are the people who digitally clean up, remaster and restore archival Doctor Who films for commercial DVD release, mostly on a volunteer basis. They are, at the very least, notable, so I'm not sure what criteria for deletion the nominator is invoking here. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, verifiable. JYolkowski // talk 23:58, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Steve Roberts, the head of the team, has requested on their forum that the article be removed, if possible. Angmering 00:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * They are, at the very least, notable Remastering old TV shows makes you MORE than notable? Some strange new meaning of the word "notable" I was previously unaware of. Delete. --Calton | Talk 00:07, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Their restorations have been made avalible on commerical DVDs. Also per Khaosworks. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 00:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Khaosworks, or at very least Merge into Doctor Who on Region 1 DVD and Doctor Who on Region 2 DVD.--Sean Black | Talk 00:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete No reason why relevant articles can't include a link to the RT site which is always going to be more up to date than any Wikipedia entry. RT have requested deletion. Joe King 00:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That the subject doesn't want it is no reason to delete an article. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 00:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quite notable, and a group whose efforts have been widely covered in media. I'm not quite certain why Roberts wants the article deleted, so revisions may be required to address his concerns. If he's wanting some sort of anonymity that boat sailed several years ago. 23skidoo 06:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep more notable than High schools --TimPope 17:33, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as very notable to specific circles - fans of the series, obviously, but also to people working in television and film preservation and restoration. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 17:52, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Redvers. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per reasons above. They've developed significant techniques in the field of value beyond their Dr Who work. Bondegezou 20:52, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
