Leigh Alderson

article lacks notability, lacks cited 3rd party references and reads more like a resume then a biographical article. Bidgee (talk) 05:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep latest BBC documentary was in external links, Google books shows 3 pages relating to Alderson in Franklin's biography. Paul foord (talk) 13:29, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

keep Alderson, IS a celebrity in Ireland with three BBC documentaries charting his life as well as the movie and independent film. They are worthy enough to grant him a wikipedia page due to a lot of irish backing and interest in his story! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.70.252 (talk) 08:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)— 81.96.70.252 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. The 2007 BBC documentary sought "to follow Leigh as he pursues his dream to become a professional dancer." If Alderson had gone on from there to bigger and better things, citing the documentary would be a useful support reference describing his early career. This is not a criticism, but two years on we still cannot say he meets any of the criteria at WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:CREATIVE. NECB appears to be a minor dance company, of which Alderson is one of a number of contracted dancers. –Moondyne 09:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but refocus article to his appearance in the BBC documentaries. He appears to be notable as the subject of TV programmes first and a dancer/actor/model second. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and send article to cleanup to address format, style, and focus. Subject meets WP:GNG [1], [2], [3], [4]. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 06:18, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

keep im sorry can i ask what is moondynes problem? he knows nothing of the company nor the work they do, he seems bitter and intent on ridding articles of people with talent and good accomplishment, it just comes across malicious. i think moondyne needs to stop tampering!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.70.252 (talk) 09:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)— 81.96.70.252 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

And I think you need to read WP:AGF and WP:NPA. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
