Leslie Durrell

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable person. Only notability is that he is the brother of Lawrence Durrell and Gerald Durrell. There is already an article on the Durrell Family. Most of the article is gossip on what is basically a private life. Michael Johnson (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No notability established other than a notable family. Notability isn't inherited. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:02, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: notability cannot be transferred from one thing to another, no matter what relation exists between those things. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 04:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. All info worth covering (which isn't much!) is included in Durrell Family. — 97198 (talk) 06:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * DO NOT DELETE - fans of the Durrels are very interested in reading about the life of Leslie, the entry for which has been taken from authorised biographies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.9.61 (talk • contribs) 09:56, 28 September 2008 — 86.164.9.61 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Redirect to Durrell Family (which is basically the same as delete) for reasons stated above - he was a private, non-notable person. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 14:03, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect/Delete, since there is really nothing of note in this article. Drmies (talk) 18:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I would support a redirect page. --Michael Johnson (talk) 22:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Not delete: surely some information is better than none, and as a fan of Gerald Durrell, I was very interested in the content of the page on brother Leslie.Cnapper (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC) — Cnapper (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Redirect to Durrell Family and perhaps expand the latter with a few bits of information from this article, sources provided. The reasons are stated above: he wasn't a notable person. As for the "interesting to read for the fans.." thing, well, not everything that is interesting to read belongs to an encyclopaedia. --Jashiin (talk) 07:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
