Mr Yates had a long run as the title character in the West End musical Billy Elliot the Musical. Other than references to the musical, there are scant references in reliable sources for this actor. Shirt58 (talk) 12:21, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - as far as I can tell he was an understudy for this production, as he was not one of the three "main" boys who received the Olivier Awards during this period (if I am reading it correctly). He has been on some notable TV shows, but there's just insufficient coverage of him outside of the 2005 articles when he got the role. —Мандичка YO 😜 12:52, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You are correct, only James Lomas, George Maguire and Liam Mower received jointly in 2006 the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for the Billy role. The article says that in June 2006 he replaced Liam Mower, I presume full-time, after standing in off and on between December 2005 and March 2006. Kraxler (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
