David Britton (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Writer doesn't seem notable enough; little links to other pages and information pertaining to the works themselves, just mention that they are controversial. CyberGhostface 18:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: "David Britton author" gets 13 Ghits. Not exactly an overwhelming assertion of notability. Moreschi 20:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- If you google "David Britton author" you don't receive that many hits because it's an odd literal. If you google "David Britton" author you receive 10,200 hits. That's not notable? The guy has written a number of controversial books and comic books over 30 years, he's been a partner in a successful publishing firm in the UK, he's helped "rediscover" musicians such as P.J. Proby. How is that not notable? I don't get it. I'm looking at WP:Bio and it specifically declares this as "notable": "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work." David Britton more than meets this criterion... I disagreed when you deleted my Supervert entry, but now I feel like you're just hunting down any entries I've made. These may be "alternative" interests but they seem perfectly notable to me and to the other users who've edited the David Britton page. I'll sign this with my four tildes but I feel like one very discouraged, disappointed Wikipedian who's starting to think that the guys over at Wikitruth have some grounds for their rancor Crawlspace 15:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
