Ted Kendall

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

NN sound engineer, and has had a notability tag attached to it since November 2006. A Google search yields Wikipedia as first result. Delete. Rockstar915 06:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an interesting mixture of NN vani-- er, COI-SPAM-cruft. Article was created by an anonymous user in 2005 and hasn't been touched since, other than for minor housecleaning. --Czj 07:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep after all, per those below me who looked into this further. The article needs drastic improvements, but he does seem to be quite notable in his field after all. --Czj 01:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article reads like a how-to/advertisement.Jaysbro 15:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above sound reasons. M URGH   disc.  02:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Superficially investigated, rash call on my part. A leader in his field it seems, and globally known. Unlikely case of COI. Terrible article though.— M URGH  disc.  02:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Alex43223Talk`
 * Weak keep. Not a vanity piece, but merely a poorly written article, now substantially rewritten and referenced. The subject is not a member of a profession which would attract great media attention. Googling "Ted Kendall" scores some 9 thousand hits, not all relevant to THIS Kendall. Although he is no Bob Ludwig, one comes across his name in many articles, which would indicate that he had an important role as an archivist and mastering engineer in bringing material, including some cult British comedy programs to the modern listener. It is important to note that his role and his skills are much appreciated by fans. Ohconfucius 02:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and as per Murgh. Dwain 23:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
