Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul John Clark

Not notable: no Google hits on his name, or his 'critically-acclaimed' book or documentary. TPK 13:08, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Delete: Man alive was this guy hard to verify! Ok, here is verification. He doesn't go by Paul John Clark. He goes by Paul Clark. There are only a million publically known people by that name. The documentary didn't show up at all, but he was a writer for Spitting Image. He's also shown by IMDB as just a writer. So, what I've learned is that this isn't a vanity entry, but he's too minor a fellow for the encyclopedia at this time. Geogre 13:59, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Looks like Mr. Clark was a 2001 general election Labour candidate for the House of Commons. Combined with his scriptwriting work, I'm still not sure if he's notable enough for the Wikipedia. The worst part of this is that the article is so slim. I'm inclined to vote Delete, but I'll stay Neutral for now until I see what others have to say. -- Stevietheman 15:37, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- I've decided to vote Delete. Not noteworthy enough. -- Stevietheman 14:56, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
if I had to rewrite this, I wouldn't get much more than "scriptwriter for famous British TV shows, failed Labour candidate". Borderline notability, delete unless someone can come up with more. --Ianb 22:14, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
If he gets a bit more famous, then OK. But right now, zap it. — Chameleon Main/Talk/Images 22:37, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Wrong side of the line. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:20, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Comment: If the writers who just wrote a single gag (and that's the only reason they're "noteworthy") are listed in Wikipedia, they should be deleted. -- Stevietheman 14:56, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
