The independent third party sources provided there seem trivial such as the celebrity/Twitter backed anti-bullying campaign, meeting the Queen and the Olympic torch relay and not serious enough to make up a Wikipedia article or any real forms of notability. Some of the sources provided are no longer existent but I am doubtful that they anything third party and independent to be useful.

Taking the sources away, this leaves an article without anything useful as his notability does not go anywhere further than outside his hometown. (This is incorrect, Kevin Healey has over 19,000 followers on Twitter, and reaches far wider than his home town. This article fall short of WP:BIO or in this current state.

Delete. Not notable. User has a Twitter account @Kevin_Healey and has asked his followers to vote to keep his page. Much of information is old and is either connected to the subject or seems to be close to the subject. Subject did not win an award, this type of award is given to an organisation and not an individual.

looks like a personal attack on Kevin from this first user, whom requested a deletion - page taken down, Kevin has won the Queens Award the first autism charity in the UK, service user led, is an award winning campaigner, and the sources still do exists, and its not just his home town he has won national awards, — 81.108.171.188 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Personal attack? Who is he? I don't know this person at all, there are people who gets these achievements and do they get Wikipedia articles. You can nominate all you can but those who think they can get away, WP:SPA applies to nominators because I'll be checking the history from time to time.

Further comment. As notified by a nominator above, we have to be on a full WP:SPA alert here, funny that somebody seem to care about his own Wikipedia page. Donnie Park (talk) 22:40, 2 November 2015 (UTC) < Kevin Healey is notable for his campaign against bullying, and Kevin's attention to his Wikipedia page, is in keeping with this. <[reply]

Who are you, Donnie Park, and why so adamant if not vitriolic? There is no doubt in my mind that it IS a personal, trollish attack. Kevin Healey's interest and actions aren't even in your listed areas of interest. I'm not in Kevin's home town and have interacted with him for months now. He and his book have inspired me and my nephew with Asperger's. What benefit would deleting the page have except a very personal and tiny-minded ego stroke for yourself? I'd suggest that you live up to your tag-line and get a life. — 109.147.251.98 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Whoa, why be personal? Why do you have to think an AfD is an attack? If you think he is notable, why don't you sort the article out yourself and namecalling standard editors a troll and wishing karma up against them won't help either, especially from a so-called anti-bullying campaigner.

How can we stop wiki from removing this, Kevin doesn't need this, it's a personal attack. — Angiec2015 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 23:22, 2 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Its a sad fact, somebody getting upset over a Wikipedia page. Donnie Park (talk) 00:01, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Donnie Park I tried to raise for speedy delete but fell due to open AfD Lucylivescot (talk) 00:08, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because it isn't needed as it was AfD'd (you can use AfD, WP:PROD or CSD) but thanks anyway. Donnie Park (talk) 00:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
