Victor H.C. Martin

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced bio/obituary. References aside, there is no notability and it's not even clear the text is to be taken seriously. Redir to Crystal Palace Dinosaurs was contested. I42 (talk) 12:09, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: A source exists for the statement that a Victor H.C. Martin has indeed been involved in restoration of the Dinosaur sculptures. But it only mentions his name and I have not been able to come up with anything else on his biography. The contents of this article is unreferenced, and even if it were, I can't see how Martin would pass WP:BIO - association with a notable topic does not make a person automatically notable. Enki H.

 * Delete the original designer of the monsters is notable, but not the restorer.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 17:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
