Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terence John Marsh


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. Although arguments were made that sources exist, two of three sources are blogs. WP:GNG requires multiple significant coverage of the subject. Trivial mentions as organizing an event in an article about the event are not significant coverage of the subject. Consensus is strongly in agreement that the subject does not meet WP:GNG and keep !voters have failed to prove otherwise. v/r - TP 02:08, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I found no significant coverage relating to this author/photographer. The articles says that he won awards, but I can find no evidence of that. Fails WP:BIO. SL93 (talk) 21:23, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks references in reliable sources. Pburka (talk) 22:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep My research has turned up many sources. I added a couple already. Author of many publications, contributor to popular magazines. Director of a popular festival. --Ryan.germany (talk) 12:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - even assuming it's all true, the sources do not prove he's generally notable. Has he been interviewed in, or the subject of an article in, any general-interest periodical?  I've found very little online about the subject, literally one line in a conference booklet. Bearian (talk) 20:53, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and retitle. A mere glance at his website shows that he works as "Terry Marsh"; if Bearian chooses to google "Terence John Marsh" it's hardly surprising that Bearian will find next to nothing. True, if you google the combination of "Terry Marsh" and one of "walking", "writer", "photography" or similar you won't find much either; but you will find enough to back up the claims presented straightforwardly within this modest article, or most of them. There's probably more within blurbs for his numerous books by publishers that are not controlled by him. Incidentally, although the article warns that A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject, this charge appears to be based on no more than this unwise but pretty innocuous pair of edits made four years ago: it's time for this flag to be removed. -- Hoary (talk) 01:00, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
