Tim Dowd

Unsourced CV-type article about a television professional. The article was speedily deleted as promotional, but discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 January 27 disagreed about whether this was appropriate, so I'm referring the matter to AfD. Possible grounds for deletion include WP:BLP, WP:BIO or WP:NOT (unless rewritten as an encyclopedia article). This is a procedural nomination, I'm neutral.

Delete just someone's CV, and thus essentially an advert. If notable, would require a total rewrite. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 05:06, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A list of credits demonstrating that an appropriate SNG is satisfied is not an advertisement. If the article had a one-sentence lede like "Tim Dowd is a British television director" and the credits were presented as a table rather than a list, there wouldn't be much of an argument. Arguments over article format generally don't belong at AFD. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Which "appropriate SNG" are you saying is met by a list of credits? WP:DIRECTOR for example I don't believe is met by merely listing credits. --86.5.93.42 (talk) 17:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No refs, no assertion of notability. Google doesn't show much, IMDB shows a mundane list of episodes he's directed on various shows, much like the WP article. Happy to look again if the article is updated soon. Incubate is a possibility. Szzuk (talk) 22:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking in depth coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
