Philip Fox (actor)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about an actor whose notability is questionable. Many of his roles are small, and the article was probably only created due to recent events. Egdirf (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I should perhaps explain a little more here. Philip Fox appeared in See It Saw It, a series in which the actress Natasha Collins also had a role. I feel that this article is only here becasue of the recent death of Miss Collins and the interest this created among certain Wikipedia editors. Egdirf (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I cannot at all see why this page has been listed for deletion.  I created it and, yes, I know it's a stub, but being a stub is no good reason per se for deletion.  Plenty of other actor pages are stubs.  Neddyseagoon - talk 23:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You should have waited until I had created the page. Egdirf (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm confused by this comment? Are you saying that this person is notable but you wanted to create the page, not the other party?  That's what it looks like to me, but I apologize if I misunderstood.--Cube lurker (talk) 01:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had placed the afd template on the page, but a keep was added to this discussion page before I'd had chance to do the necessary opening procedure. I thought the person should have waited, but it might have been ok for them to do this. I'm not entirely sure how it works. As for whether Philip Fox is notable or not, my nomination is really inspired by the recent Natasha Collins/Kate Crossley debates. Egdirf (talk) 09:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I jumped the gun - this page should have been created straight after the nomination surely? Just wanted to get my comment in first. I argue that yes he is notable, and I wanted to create this page asap to defend that.Neddyseagoon - talk 21:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Unlike Natasha Collins and Kate Crossley (which should indeed be deleted), Philip Fox does have a long career as a character actor. No doubt the page was indeed created because of the interest in Natasha Collins - but it deserved to be created anyway. - PinkEllie (talk) 12:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, a look at the credits on IMDb show he is notable, even if he tends to have small roles. Bob talk 13:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Has a fairly long list of credits stretching back several years. We should keep and expand this article, and add a few good references. Paul20070 (talk) 18:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I created the page as I noted him in the cast list of a just-broadcast episode of Foyle's War Series Six (creation edit here). I was unaware that he was linked to the Collins story.  The link to that story was added by the unregistered user 88.109.118.83 9 hours later. Neddyseagoon - talk 21:16, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Then please accept my apologies. I should have checked the page history before this nomination. I see from the imdb that he has quite a long list of credits, so is probably notable. Having had time to reflect on my decision yesterday, I actually feel quite bad about the fact I have nominated this article for deletion. Am I allowed to withdraw the afd nomination?
