Stephen Heppell
Non-notable bio; vanity. Page created by subject himself! Not notable enough to have an encyclopædia entry. Delete. EuroSong talk 11:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is surely a WP:Vanity entry, and he cites his own personal website in which he quoted "To be honest, I've completely lost track of where much of my stuff is on the Internet - conference slides, videos, transcripts, podcasts, debates...". However, he appears to have won some sort of (notable?) award. --Porqin 14:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Poorly written vanity.  A professor? (of what, where?).  Advises a string of governments? (which ones?).  Won an award? (yes, the RTS Judges’ Award--a bit lacking in notability itself, but it gets a mention here, which is basically a press release, not an independent source.)  Seems like an ordinary teacher with a vanity project. -- Slowmover 15:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:BIO and, as proposed, WP:PROF.  A search on Google News produces exactly 2 hits: 1 is an article written by him last month, and 1 where he gets a very brief mention in Cayman News Net Online, apparently for some consulting he did last month for the Cayman Islands school system.  The WP article here is both vanity and an advertisement. If he truly is "frequently found in the world's media", we need to see the links, otherwise that claim to notability fails WP:Verifiability. --Satori Son 01:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
