Guy Michelmore
WP:BIO, no notability claimed - or does every weather-person get an article? Rklawton 20:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep notability is claimed - Michelmore is a TV news presenter in the UK. I see nowhere in the article that mentions he's a weather-person. The article also claims he's a composer for film and TV, which his IMDB profile supports. According to this he's won an Emmy for his music work as well as other significant awards. Seems notable enough to me. The article needs to be expanded - the links mentioned here would be a start - not deleted. Gwernol 20:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry 'bout the weatherman stuff, but the same applies to newsreaders. The other stuff you pointed out is really cool, but none of it is in the article.  Rklawton 20:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but the links do show notability of the subject. I'm happy to do the work to expand the article based on these and other links, though hopefully the original author will do it. A poor article about a notable subject should be expanded, not deleted in the general case. No worries about the weatherman stuff, I just thought you might know more about Michelmore than I did :-) Gwernol 20:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per Gwernol, if that stuff does get added. Without it, the article doesn't look to pass notability on its own. You can feel free to do it now even, it would probably increase the article's chance for survival. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 20:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Done - added the links and done some copy editing. The article needs more work, but its hopefully heading in the right direction. Gwernol 21:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep if material mentioned is added.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  21:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: not just for the info added by User:Gwernol, but the dynastic element is noteworthy. --die Baumfabrik 23:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think this is a good example of a fundamental flaw in some authors' thinking: they do not feel the need to display the notability of a subject since "any dummy can see he's on the telly." Sure, Guy broadcasted to 10 millions, but only in one corner of the planet. --die Baumfabrik 23:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Definitely notable in the UK, additional material above has been added, I just added some linkage to dad Cliff. --DaveG12345 04:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
