 * Delete, and optionally Redirect to UK Youth Parliament. No evidence of notability independent of the UK Youth Parliament. Yes, some members of the board of trustees are notable, but only because they're MPs in their own right. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Work is certainty needed on the article, but there is a reasonable amount coverage of Sam Ellis, mostly in relation to Youth Parliament, in the Media to give notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.72.49 (talk) 22:44, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You'll need to show what the coverage is for the article to stay. I found next to nothing with a Google News search of "Sam Ellis" Youth Parliament. That doesn't necessarily mean he's not notable, but it does mean we'll have to see what the coverage is rather than just take someone's word for it. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 23:16, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Apologies - I hadn't noticed that you'd added references to the article. However, this is way short of significant independent coverage as required in the notability guidelines. Out of the six sources, three don't mention Sam Ellis at all, one is a comment posted by himself to the Guardian website, one is an entry on the Youth Parliament site, and one is a transcript of a debate in Parliament. None of those are evidence of independent reliable sources consider Sam Ellis notable enough to write about. There's always the possibility there are better sources out there, but as it stands this isn't enough. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 23:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As it stands the only independent coverage of Sam Ellis in the article is a local paper piece. Searching supplies nothing more substantial - so falls well short of WP:GNG. Nuttah (talk) 12:18, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, subject is not (yet) notable. I see no significant coverage in reliable sources, just the one local newspaper article. --Nuujinn (talk) 09:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
