contributed more to than anyone else, but I do see everyone's point. I had felt that by putting links to where I found the info from would make the article more wiki-worthy, but I would agree that most of the info comes from www.hughallison.com (so this is what I creditted) so I can now see it would have been best if I had not put the info on at all. Re SamuelTheGhost's comment above, which I have just re-read, although I have long suspected that most of Allison's work is that for which he has not been paid professional rates, if there is a site or similar which states this, I would appreciate knowing it, in case that provides more useful info/citations which I could use when trying to rebuild the page--

route. // I would appreciate people having a look at the page as it stands, and letting me know their thoughts. Specifically, (1) Is there anything else that should be changed/removed, (2) does the page still rely on any sources from websites which are self-published or not allowed by Wiki for any other reason, (3) does it still look like an extension of Allison's website and (4) now that the lists are smaller, do the directing section and the writing section still need to be amended into more of a paragraph or encyclopedic style? I will be online again within 48 hours to make any suggested amendments.--

references, as I believe that anything about the Genesis Project can be edited by the directors, in the same way that actors can edit their Spotlight/imdb pages. Unless requested otherwise, I will keep the doollee.com citations, as (having looked at the site in more detail) it seems that anyone thereon still needs to submit their work to be vetted. // Also, re the comment on your talk page, I can't find any references anywhere to the Observer/As You Like It quote (other than on Allison's website and on other wiki's so I will remove it).--
279:"Directing" section and the "Writing" section. I am tired/hungry now, so leave it for a bit, but will strive to amend them within the next 48 hours. Do please message me to let me know if there is anything else that should be changed. Specifically, the "Gospel" section - is this ok, should it be shortened, should it go to a separate article page, or should I cut it completely? All thoughts & advice welcome-- 555: 354:
I have done quite a bit more work, including cutting the no of words dramatically. I think my original thought was that the piece would have been less likely to be deleted if the page was longer, as it would imply Allison had done more and was thus wiki-worthy. I am now going down the less-is-more

to use the subject's own self-published website as a source, but only within reason. It can't reach the point where the Knowledge (XXG) article has effectively become an extension of—or even substitute for—the personal website, so that's a matter of editorial judgment, erring on the side of caution.

SamuelTheGhost thanks for keeping me up to speed. SlimVirgin, thanks for restoring it. I am going to cut the page down shortly (so it reads less like a CV as per your suggestion). I agree the subject lacks any real notability outside the London Fringe and Internet Radio scene, but I believe he is

I should also thank SchuminWeb for deleting the original statement of spam, and should declare that I have messaged this user to ask for help in improving the article. NB, I have started work on changing this article so it is more wiki-worthy. It is breaking my heart to cut down a page I probably

I have just gone back to the article. I can't find anything online where Allison gets more than a fleeting mention or a credit, so I believe that (much as it would break my heart based on the no of hours I have put in over the years working on the article) it is perhaps sensible that the piece is
338:
Hi Slim. Thanks for that. To be safe though, I will stick to not using quotes from the presumably self-published hughallison.com and will only use a minimal amount from the (presumably also self-published) wix.com. To my understanding, re my above question, I will also remove the "Young Vic"
278:
I do apologise for adding so many comments to this page, but I want to keep everything I am doing above board, and also making it clear what I am doing and asking questions etc so as to make sure the page is not redeleted. I am aware that I still need to dramatically chop down and rewrite the

This has been speedy deleted four times since 2007, and the creator has not managed to fix it in that time. I speedied it recently after it appeared on the spam list, and restored it because the creator asked me to, but I can't find secondary sources.
187:
This has just been speedied, which was too hasty, then restored. Nevertheless the subject of the article does lack notability. Many of the claimed credits are for work which was not paid at all, or not at professional rates. I suggest deletion.
373:
It's still just a list, not an article, and it needs secondary sources. That's the thing to focus on. If there are no secondary sources (e.g. newspaper articles about him, or that mention him in more than passing), it should be deleted.
557:
that says anything at all about him -- and it's a bit dismissive (dings him for a "turgid" production.) So far, we don't have multiple independent third-party sources. At this point, the likelihood of finding any seems remote.
255:
As per above, I am hoping to remove all credits which are sourced from www.hughallison.com - as a geuine question, should I also remove credits from doollee.com and or the Young Vic Genesis Page which I have also cited many
484:- I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Kudos to TimothyJacobson for a valiant rewrite, but at this point, I don't see that the subject meets wikipedia's inclusion criteria.-- 156: 535: 458: 551:
credits him with a list of plays, and there are some links to theater schedules, but it's not clear anybody's vetting the information posted. The fifth is a duplicate of fourth link. The sixth

I have just done more trimming and it is (in my opinion at least) no longer a list; just a couple of basic paragraphs. I will work on the secondary sources issue within 48 hours.--

deleted. I also looked through several of the other Actors/Filmmakers for deletion, and I think I understand even more why the Hugh Allison one should go.--
