Philip Morrow

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

Non-notable. Not discussed in any reliable sources that I can find. Current sources in the article are mini bios or his name on a list. Google news (his name + "producer") gives three hits, all of the merely quoting him. لenna vecia  13:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The positions held are possibly notable, and the sources seem to be sufficient to show it. DGG (talk) 17:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable fails WP:BIO as nom states I can only find cursory mentions at best. BigDunc  Talk 17:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no reliable sources that discuss the subject of a BLP in any depth at all. Well, that means no notability established and, worse, makes verification of claims and expansion all but impossible. It is a bad thing to have poorly sourced BLPs on individuals of no demonstrable notability and we should delete this one.Bali ultimate (talk) 17:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * delete bali ultimate pretty much said what I was going to, and more. Viridae Talk 21:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, as founder of a television production company. Although not a lengthy bio this article is independent of the subject. Tim Vickers (talk) 01:41, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, notable as the founder of a company and also a council representative of a producer's trade union (PACT). The article does need a few more sources, though:
 * Director Magazine: "Rising Star Phil Morrow"
 * Guardian Article, partial interview about Constant Comedy
 * PACT council: "Phil Morrow reports from Northern Ireland"
 * Financial Times coverage of Just for Laughs
 * The Times, Introducing Get Smarter in a Week, and from the Guardian , and from the Daily Mail (some of these are just quotes from Morrow)
 * Chortle, UK Comedy Guide: Introducing Constant Comedy, and from The Hindu
 * BBC Review Informed Seminars, Guest Biographies (warning: PDF!)
 * Northern Ireland Television and Film Commission: "Northern Ireland lures back talent," first page (warning: PDF!)

 * Once again, better in the article than in the AFD. لenna  vecia  14:09, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I was leaning towards that already (commissioning editor for entertainment at C4 is a pretty big deal), and the sources have convinced me. Thanks FlyingToaster. the wub "?!"  09:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per sources added. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Added to the AFD. The article has yet to be improved. لenna  vecia  02:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - the sources provided by FlyingToaster seem to be sufficient to demonstrate notability. The coverage isn't very in-depth, but there's enough there for a brief biography at least. Robofish (talk) 22:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Wild Rover Productions - the good thing about being new around here is that I have to go and read everything before !voting. He doesn't meet any of the criteria of WP:BIO nor WP:GNG (not remarkable in his field, no non-trivial coverage, only incidental, except for the single Director's article). Moving him to Wild Rover would allow all the sourcing about him to be included, and remove imdb trivia such as "worked on Space Precinct", whilst also reinforcing Wild Rover. There's no reason a well sourced section on a firm's founder can't be included. Bigger digger (talk) 13:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per factors all considered show him as meeting WP:N. Good job to FlyingToaster! Any other concerns cam be met through WP:CLEANUP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
