Liam Tulley (actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I started out by trying to find one source so I could remove the sticky prod from this article. Now I'm not familiar with British soap operas and my "google fu" is not strong but I only found 3 hits using the words "Liam Tulley" and "Emmerdale", 2 are from Wikipedia (no IMDB entry either but that really doesn't mean anything). Therefore, either this article is a hoax or I've had a big bowl of "STUPID" for breakfast this morning. Ron Ritzman (talk) 13:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I couldn't find much when I removed the self-link from the article; I see nothing supporting WP:CREATIVE, either... which basically means that that I must've had the same breakfast as nom. One would think that a recurring character in a televised series would attract some notice in reliable sources, but a Google search of "Daniel Dingle" turns up no such mention (mainly real life people, one of whom who claimed the invention of a car that runs on water).147.70.242.54 (talk) 14:52, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - Subect does not even have an Imdb entry ... utterly fails WP:ENT. Happy Editing! &mdash;  16:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. We should be considering WP:ENT rather than WP:CREATIVE here, and the decider here is likely to be Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. However, as I have zero interest in soaps, can someone advise me how significant these roles were? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * SPEEDY Delete of a deliberate hoax. To the nominator... there IS a Liam Tuilley on IMDB, but he has no relationship to the purported character actor.  I have some pretty good google-foo... and I came up 100% empty.  Had I found anything to connect this name with any of the asserted series, I might have called for a redirect.  But it feels too suspiciously of hoax.  For example, there is an assertion that he played a character named "Jez" in Hollyoaks... but the only "Jez" in Hollyoaks was played by actor Simon Cole].  The article asserts he had a guest role in a January 2010 episode of The Bill... but none of the three January 2010 episodes list him as cast or crew..  It asserts that he played a recurring character named "Daniel Dingle" in Emmerdale Farm... but while there are a series of characters with the last name of Dingle, there is no listing for a Daniel Dingle.  I suspect puppetry, in that IP 92.12.235.48 began adding the name Liam Tulley as an actor to varuious charactrer lists in numerous English soap articles immediately before the SPA account Wheel7 created the Tulley article. Same person making these edits? WP:QUACK. Time for this one to go, and for all the hoax entries made by IP 92.12.235.48 to be removed.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 *  Speedy Delete especially as there is a risk of the false page being mirrored, or a wiki-bakc effect. --Ktlynch (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
