Why is this person notable?

Is colourising Dr Who really a reason to add someone to an encyclopaedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiny beets (talkcontribs) 00:59, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Wikipedia's notability guidelines do explain "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity". And that's the crux. Within a niche interest group the name Babelcolour is very well known, his colourisation work has been influential, and the results regularly lauded. There are numerous interviews and reviews and recommendations for his work in genre magazines, websites, podcasts, from the BBC, Radio Times, Guardian, SFX Magazine, Starburst Magazine, the Doctor Who Magazine... well, it's all in the subject's article. Many people may never get to hear of him, but those who know his work consider him extremely notable in his field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.150.93.254 (talk) 11:45, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


   I don't really understand why a notability template has been added to the page? The article was up for merger or deletion last March and a talk page determined it should stay with a consensus to keep on March 12th. Since then the article has been enlarged and improved, elevated from stub class to start class and has over 50 sources cited. How can it now be back up for merger or deletion again so soon? And by an unregistered visitor? Someone should make the bold edit to remove the template as it is unnecessary unless we are expected to go through the whole talk page process yet again for no reason.

Although I do agree with curryman2004, I don't want to arbitrarily remove the original editor's notability template out of courtesy, without first inviting him/her to make their case. Unfortunately they were not logged in, so there's no user-name to invite to the talk page, but we should give 73.61.19.196 the chance to explain why they've added the template.Pupsbunch (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
