Talk:Mark Kingwell

Untitled

Article listed on WP:VFD Jul 7 to Jul 15 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:

Kingwell is in fact a philosopher; seems to teach at a college somewhere. Has written a book. This article Probably not written by him. I leave it to the community to decide if this should stay or go. A Google search gets 686 hits for +"Mark Kingwell" +philosophy. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 04:38, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Good stub. Can't see any reason for this listing. Am I missing something? Andrewa 10:22, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• At present, the information here is no more than what you'd get at University of Toronto. All this substub says is he's a professor who has books. What's the notability? The author doesn't tell us, and we have to find out if there is sufficient notability to warrant an article. The random professor has to have some description, doesn't she? Delete, but a full article would be great. Geogre 12:57, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Clarify--when I found this, it said "Philosopher, has brown hair". I did a quick google search, and this article is the result of that. I'm not sure he's nonotable. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 22:57, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete as written - If that's the extent of his notability I request Texture (author) be created immediately with identical text. - Tεxτurε 21:59, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Current article has no explanation for notability. Delete unless improved in the next few days. Average Earthman 22:46, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: I've expanded it a little. Any better? Andrewa 11:35, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. As a newspaper and t.v. commentator he's become fairly well known in Canada (if that is'nt an oxymoron).Dhodges 14:10, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep revised article - Tεxτurε 14:42, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. He is a well known public academic in Canada - SimonP 20:39, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)
• BTW.,there are two entries. One for Mark Kingwell and one for Mark kingwell. Strikes me as needing a redirect or something.Dhodges
• Keep. Kingwell is a well-respected cultural theorist with several notable books and many articles in major Canadian media.
• Keep now. Geogre 13:57, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This article could be cleaned up and expanded quite a bit; Kingwell has written a lot more than just books, and his essays and such should be listed. He also appears somewhat regularly on Canadian TV, his appearances could be listed. 69.194.35.109 23:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Notability?

who wrote this? "well known" for appearing in the Corporation? really? that's the highlight of the movie? didn't even notice that he has two brothers -- sean and steven... why should anyone care?

a lot of this article is pointless and just inflates his "notability" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.148.98 (talk) 16:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
