Delete. I almost spilled my Bushmills 1608 when reading this one. The article claims that the subject is notable for being... IT Manager during the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, of all things. JBsupreme ( talk ) 21:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Quite simply no reference. The one used in the Trivia section (which I just removed) makes no mention of the subject or the incident. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 21:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. A quick look at Google News tells me that Wikipedia should have an article about a namesake of this person, a tennis player. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Since when did tech managers become notable? Only source is imdb as well.  fetch  comms  ☛ 22:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Can one be notable for being non-notable? If so, here's a candidate 7triton7 (talk) 08:27, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. How has this survived for nearly three years?! Wine Guy   Talk  09:17, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Magic.   JBsupreme  ( talk )  10:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Magic? Narh, a lack of peers review, overloaded editors, backlogs on article maint etc. We need flagged revisions etc. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep given the extent of the production in that series, the head of IT during it is quite reasonably notable, and the IMDB bio is acceptable for the routine fact that he held the position.    DGG ( talk ) 03:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You can't be serious. IMDb isn't even a reliable source for biographies.  It is at best a supplemental source but should never be used as the sole source of information for WP:BLP articles.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 18:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment He was not even the "IT Manager" on LotR, he was an "IT supporter", I've edited the article to accurately reflect the source. He is listed under "Other crew" near the bottom of the list of nearly 2000 film crew. Wine Guy   Talk  18:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. Editors just love creating bios and articles about popular culture regardless of how non-notable they may be. WP has a systemic bias towards these article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
