Hi Mike,

I have just posted on your talk page. I am still editing this article and I hope that writing content that is currently only linked to in the external links, will demonstrate the notability of Mr Holmes

Thanks

 * Comment. I'm one of two admins who have been discussing this article with (the other being ). I initially became involved after I . I'm not yet convinced that the article's subject is notable enough for an article: it would seem to me that a stronger case could be made for the Edinburgh International Marketing Festival, which Thomas Ross Holmes founded. However, this festival is part of the Edinburgh Fringe rather than the main Festival, so maybe, maybe not. Thomas Ross Holmes also founded Creativebrief, which "connects buyers and sellers of marketing services". There's no article for Creativebrief, either, and I'm not convinced that they'd necessarily be notable enough for an article. Finally, the article's creator is an employee of the article's subject. I hadn't realised that until just now, but Jimfbleak . Ben, you do need to be aware of Wikipedia' conflict of interest policy. TFOWR 14:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi all,

Thanks for the further guidance. I mentioned upon my first contact with Jim that I was at creativebrief, and I hope this does not stand in the way of the article remaining published. I have edited the 'entrepreneur' section and hope that this helps assessing the notability of Mr Holmes.

Kind regards
