Nothing to indicate why this person is notable enough to be encyclopaedic. Lacks any links to his importance or even his existence. Holkingers (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Multiple Wiki articles have had this "Nicholas Young" character included as a presenter, but no references appear to exist anywhere on the internet to verify the claims. Most edits made by the user AspireT180 in March 2009 immediately after creating this page. Looks like a pretty clear hoax.Bonusballs (talk) 23:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete unless sources are provided quickly to back it up. The fact that I can't find anything connecting him to any of the shows mentioned is somewhat suspicious. --Susan118 (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Having Googled a bit for "Nicholas Young" and "Nickelodeon" was an actor on their show The Tomorrow People, and acts as a host for other things as well.   D r e a m Focus  21:58, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Dreamfocus, you're confusing him with Nicholas_Young_(actor) - he's nearly 60 years old! The Tomorrow People was made in the 1970s and remade in the 1990s, and only ever shown on the American Nickelodeon - whereas this article is talking about Nickelodeon UK. The actor is, in any case, not a host on either network. Given the obvious hoax nature of every other edit made by the user who created this page, I don't think there's any doubt whatsoever that this page is entirely untruthful.

 * If this is a hoax, can't it be speedily deleted, as opposed to waiting the 7 days? --Susan118 (talk) 21:14, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
