Draft talk:Duncan Harrison

Duncan Harrison is the winner of a nation wide competition out of 1000s of entrants. He won the contest, which was televised, and won the title of Britain's best yound speaker. He is noteworthy in that he has this title, making him an achieved and well-known person in Britain as a whole. Being the best Young Speaker in Britain, he is in fact famous, and worthy of a wikipedia article. --Koponen (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

• They're dotted around the page but:

this is the general website

this is his finalist page

this is the final episode, in which he wins. (57 minutes in)--Koponen (talk) 21:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

• Hmm, I'll accept that. Please add sources to the page like a reference section though. T3chl0v3r (talk) 21:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I need to sleep, don't delete the page while I'm gone. --Koponen (talk) 21:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Are there enough sources for this?

First of all, thanks a lot for all of the really useful work that's been done on making this such a full article.

I do have a worry though, that the vast, vast majority of it can't have sources. It seems like it's one person's (rather incessantly supportive) interpretation of the episodes, rather than anything that can be backed up. I am unhappy that there probably won't be anyone else willing to balance out whatever views the principal editor has, and no reliable source to quote. However, while I think the quality of accuracy of the article is tainted, I still find it useful.

So I would recommend cutting down the sections which can't be sourced at all - the "favourite quotes" and episode summary based on an individual's opinions. For more info on whether that's a justified thing to do, a good resource is WP:SOURCE.

Overall, well done on the time put into creating the article. Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 22:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
