Edmund Bolton (reality TV star)
This page is about one contestant on a UK reality TV show called "Beauty and the Geek". None of the other contestants have a page as of yet; and this is for a good reason. The show is not hugely popular, and the contestants are not, and have not become, celebrities. It really is a fly-by-night type of notability. Also, it may be a vanity page (user's contributions are to the show and the college Edmund is from); but I am willing to assume good faith, and say that it is written by a loyal fan. However, he is just not notable enough, IMO, for inclusion. Batmanand | Talk 23:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. As the show is still running on Channel 4, having completed its run on E4, it's possible that the participants may become more notable very soon. However, at the moment, I agree that delete is most likely. DWaterson 00:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Slight merge and redirect to Beauty and the Geek (UK). No noticeable fame outside of this show. Stifle (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Beauty and the Geek (UK) as a contestent with no notability MLA 09:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge the article has been created by a fan and supporter. I can see the argument for deletion, but IMO it should stay. Sebstuart 23:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree! Watching the show it is clear that Edmund is one of the more notable characters. He has already been on Richard and Judy and Harry Hill's TV Burb (both quite mainstream shows) and he has given interviews to national and local newspapers. To delete this article before the terrestrial showing of BatG runs its course would be a travesty.

It has been written by the good people of Downing Collge, Cambridge, who have also set up "www.edmundbolton.co.uk"
