Tim Deegan
Not sufficiently notable, and not asserted to be. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The article appears to have been vandalised - current news articles (dated later than the potential vandal's edit) have no mention of his being expelled. Any such statement seriously requires citations to avoid libel laws (I believe it is the anon IP who made such a statement that would be liable, not Wikipedia). I have reverted to the last verifiable version and added a link, found via Google News. Average Earthman 17:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, unfortunately. As much as I dislike him and wish he had never stepped into the MuchMusic VJ Search competition, the article as well as all of the other MuchMusic VJ articles meet the standards set at Notability. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 20:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is unlikely that anyone outside of Canada will be aware of whom Tim Deegan really is; if you require pure eludciation, just see http://www.muchmusic.com. It's on the front page. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 20:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. He is the winner of VJ Search and now has a job in front of a camera on the primary music channel in Canada.  -- JamesTeterenko 04:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per above. MuchMusic is equivalent to MTV in the United States. It's a shame that the article had to be vandalized, and listed here. TDS  (talk • contribs) 16:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Keep it. He's a celebrity now. Hundreds of thousands voted. Sounds notable enough to me. He's a Canadian TV figure and he's going to be around for a while. If he disappears off the channel, maybe then he'd be up for deletion (Dfahmy 20:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC))
 * Keep and cleanup. -- getcrunk   juice  contribs 21:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it; as national television personalities, MuchMusic VJs are notable enough per WP:BIO. Speedy keep if at all possible. Bearcat 10:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - TV exposure and new job make him sufficiently notable. &mdash;Wh o  uk (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is pretty much just a fan page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chinamanjoe (talk • contribs).
 * Keep, hopefully speedily. If it's "pretty much a fan page," you can easily request improvement with a template message... Samaritan 03:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but someone better remove the part about people being charmed by his "down to earth personality" etc. It looks like this is a Tim Deegan fanpage. 132.208.24.101 19:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
