Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damon Scott

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus, default to keep. The relist did not generate consensus either way. There seems to be enough discussion of Scott in reliable sources to avoid outright deletion at this point. The question of notability can be revisited in the future.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Damon Scott

As much as I enjoy this guys act. He's just someone who appeared on Britain's Got Talent and didn't win. Buc (talk) 18:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, the article claims there's a BBC documentary on him, if that's so I think it would qualify him for notability. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 00:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can this be substantiated? I can't find anything online about it, and IMDB doesn't show anything related. (I'm not sure if a program from the BBC would show up there, though.) JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 14:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lookie (pdf), it is his CV and he makes the same claim, also talks about an ITV documentary featuring him. I know this is far from a reliable source, but people don't usually make those sorts of claims when they're lies on their CV. Here is what appears to be his agent or something making the same claim. Still, I don't seem to be able to find much other than that. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 23:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Comment The same claim of a BBC documentary is also made here and here..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Even supposing there is a BBC documentary on him; without seeing the footage, or a transcript, I would presume this documentary is not for the purpose of spotlighting Damon Scott, but instead with the purpose of spotlighting this type of entertainer. While I don't know how often the BBC produces such things, it is still the case that documentaries are made about non-notable people all the time. I'm ambivalent on the matter, so I reserve judgement one way or the other pending more information. -Verdatum (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This was posted on the talk page of this AfD rather than the AfD itself by User:Barwitch:

I don't seem to be able to comment on the consideration for deletion page - I am Damon's manager - there are a number of things to consider - Damon has been a professional entertainer for 10 years - he was featued in a documentary on BBC called the Monkey Man. Clips available on his website for those who seem to not believe this. Although Damon was featured on Britain's Got Talent as a finalist and had 7.8million votes (only 200k less than Paul Potts) since he has had 10 million hits on You Tube from across the globe, and this is increasing at approx 25k hits a day whilst the new show is running. Contractually Damon had to have a period of media quiet post show, but is about to launch several high profile projects with significant pr. Equally - the other finalists such as the BarWizards have pages which are not marked for deletion? Any other queries contact me at [email protected], with Kind Regards Kate...Barwitch (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
