Withdraw Appears to be a non-notable person. Subject has requested deletion through OTRS (ticket number 2010082510007565) due to numerous factual errors. No sources provided. I could only find one brief mention of the man's work. (Not the same person as the rock&roll author, who has many articles written about him) PanydThe muffin is not subtle 12:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC) PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Plenty of sources online to suggest the appropriateness of a Wikipedia article on Philip Dodd. The errors Dodd has found are very regrettable (not again on WP, etc), but insufficient reason for deletion. Commentator Oliver Kamm's objection to his own article did not lead to its removal.

Strong keep. Definitely notable, lots of secondary articles etc. in the newspapers. Needs referenceing and the errors removing though; I'll make a start at that. Chris (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, Very notable figure for a. work as an academic b. Directorship of the ICA during a febrile time in British art c. work as a broadcaster d. work as journalist/editor e. influence on 'Cool Britannia' and cultural identity in the United Kingdom f. cultural interchange with China. Piece does need additional references/fact checking, but since it was only started yesterday it's in reasonably robust shape. yorkshiresky (talk) 16:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I'll withdraw this in a minute but could people maybe provide me with the sources they found because I was coming up empty for this gentlemen. I'll fix the article once I've got them and withdraw. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 17:56, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
