Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Geoffrey Bell (broadcaster)

Apologies for placing this here-it’s the first time I’ve contributed and it is very overwhelming. I’m writing in response to Nancy, because I didn't realize Bell already had a profile on wikipedia? After reading comments from others regarding deletion of his profile I think there is still more debate to be had. When you compare his on-screen credits to other New Zealand presenters, he has far more credits than those his own age and has had a very varied career thus far. He did two series of Let's Get Inventin' which won best children's programme at the Qantas Media Awards, two series of NZ Performance Car TV and specials of NZ Drift Series & Import All Stars, six months hosting MTV Full Tank, six months hosting Kit Kat Break at Juice TV and is known for doing production work for New Zealand's best comedy - Pulp Sport. He's also appeared as a guest on Shortland Street, Studio Two and Breakfast. As far as I can tell he is already credited on wikipedia for his past work - why not add a profile for him? Perhaps his agent or publicist was trying to link the credits together? Budgets are small in NZ and sometimes publicity is overlooked as the dollars are spent on screen. A simple page was probably considered, not as self promotion but for public interest. He is well known for his grassroots work on youth/children's programming.  Obviously there have been some issues over his name. After viewing his website - his professional name is infact Geoffrey (also verified by the IMDB), although he is often credited as 'Geoff' in New Zealand. Some of the sources may have been crediting him as Geoff. Perhaps this is why there is some confusion?  If you are struggling to find sources, I will post some up...  Full background on Geoffrey Bell.  Bell's graduate profile.  Bell's interview about let's Get Inventin'  Bell as a guest on Studio 2.  Look at Episode 5.  "Geoff Bell is back to present the best of import car culture."  Bell's page on bigidea.  Bell nominated for "Rising Star" category.  Many of the articles he is interviewed in are not online but i've had a look around and scanned some print sources which may be of interest:   Geoffrey Bell at Juice TV 2006.   Geoffrey Bell Interview for Juice TV 2006   Geoffrey Bell MTV Full Tank Interview 2006   Geoffrey Bell Let's Get Inventin' Interview 2008 <P>  Christchurch Press - Geoffrey Bell moves to UK. 2008. <P> No doubt, I'm not the only one who has tried to input to this page. I'm offering to create a basic page to simply portray the career of the interesting and upcoming presenter. With your help I'm sure we can create a win-win situation and a good formula for other NZ presenters and actors to follow. <P> Many thanks, Quinn <P>
