Billy Burr
Challenging notability; no Wikipedia article. IMDb and its category are in accord but in my opinion it is a bit early for him to have an article on Wikimedia project. --Aphaia 14:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: keep (seven votes to keep, including from nominator, no dissent). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep now. Actually, he does have a WP article — Bill Burr. Apparently, he switched from "Billy" to "Bill" in recent years, and neither IMDb nor TV.com (nor our creating editor, for that matter) has caught up with this change. I've cleaned up the article a bit. I also identified the specific episode of Premium Blend that the quotes are presumably from, so I think we have an adequate stub. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep now. Preferable to move to Bill Burr? --Aphaia 16:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I went ahead and moved it since Bill is the name he actually goes by. Koweja 16:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep If someone is notable enough to have a article on wikipedia then he is notable enough to have a collection of quotes here. --Sir James Paul 17:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It isn't always that simple. People often create "vanity" articles on both projects. The advantages of a Wikipedia article are (A) the potential for properly identifying the subject; (B) the vastly greater pool of editors to scrutinize and improve the WP article, making the total information on the subject more likely to be accurate and properly sourced; and, for apparent non-notable subjects, (C) the opportunity to submit it to WP's "articles for deletion" (AfD) process, which also taps the much large editorship of Wikipedia to examine notability. (They also tend to close AfD discussions faster than we do, so we can often get a WP AfD decision before our VfD discussions are over.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course it is not always that simple. I never said it was always that simple. --La gloria è a dio 17:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
