Stephen White (television writer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article makes no effort to show notability outside of the linked articles (i.e. Barney & Friends, Barney's Great Adventure) and contains a second paragraph which contained some fairly BLP-violating unsourced text ("His most notable work is Hope'N'Change, a conservative stock image webcomic that is notable for taking pride in how homophobic, sexist, racist and otherwise offensive as it can be.") previous to my removing it, with the latest edit to include that line by IP 220.233.208.206 seeming to indicate that it was added specifically to cause controversy. "The man apparently does not like this information being published, as it is likely that his doing this would lose him work in non-partisan areas. TS to him, then, information wants to be free and he can deal with the consequences of being an ass." Imban (talk) 17:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - he's clearly not notable for his most recent work. But the fact that he was a writer on Barney & Friends would seem to be a verifiable fact. As far as writers of children's television shows go, that's a pretty big deal. A significant contribution to a notable creative work is probably enough for the subject to meet WP:CREATIVE. Without trying to otherstuff it, there's certainly an easier case to make for that than for the many d-grade uncredited actors for whom we have articles. The line highlighted is a clear BLP violation and removing it was appropriate.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 02:20, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
