Frederick Anderson

Appears to be a completely non-notable person. Google only finds sources from Wikipedia or mirrors, and judging from the information on the article, it's unlikely there will be any (living next to Dudley Moore as a child is a fairly tenuous link at best). I'm also nominating his daughter and grandson. Trebor 13:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This one seems most likely to have sources, but again I cannot find anything outside of mirrors of Wikipedia. A children's author may not have received any third-party coverage. Trebor 13:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC) Withdrawn. Trebor 21:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * An article on a scientist who doesn't appear to have done anything notable. I couldn't find any sources, and the article doesn't assert "importance or significance" so it could almost be speedied. Trebor 13:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all. Unreferenced. Adjectives such as "important" always give it away. Sullivan's article doesn't even state which books she has written. I've deleted Cornelius under CSD A7, because that was just silly. The JPS talk to me  14:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Frederick Anderson, non-notable. I'm leaning towards weak keep for Jennifer Sullivan.  According to this she won the Tir na n-Og Award in 2006 for one of her books, which is awarded by the Welsh Books Council who confirm she won.  One Night In Hackney 15:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:BIO seems to suggest multiple independent awards are required for inclusion; I'm not sure one alone qualifies. It's the most borderline of the three, but I'd still be inclined to argue for deletion. Trebor 16:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's multiple awards or reviews, I'm searching for some reviews as well and will add them as and when. She seems quite prolific, she's got plenty of releases on Amazon. One Night In Hackney 16:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Found some reviews, after much searching. There are two different sets of reviews    of her books on the Welsh Book Council site, they are generally quite short and written by children, but she is a children's author.  Her books are also reviewed by the GWales site, which is a review written by the site itself.   Other books by her on the same site also have similar reviews as well . Also found a review by the daily newspaper the Western Mail . It's likely there may be reviews of her books in Welsh language sites as well, so the assistance of any Welsh speakers could be helpful on this. One Night In Hackney 16:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, but perhaps you'd like to update the article to include these sources? They'd be a much greater chance of it being kept. The JPS talk to me  18:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm more of a wikignome than a wikifairy, but I'll see what I can do later unless someone else steps in before then. One Night In Hackney 19:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Good job finding the sources, I'm withdrawing the nomination for Sullivan. Trebor 21:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete unless properly sourced and referenced by end of this AfD Alf photoman 16:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Jennifer Sullivan per comments from One Night In Hackney. Delete Frederick Anderson. --Eastmain 17:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
