Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Ferns (2nd nomination)
The article has certainly been greatly diminshed since it survived the last AFD,http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Ferns&action=history and I will report back after expanding and sourcing it myself per what's available in seaches. A couple quick notes... ''Sterling Observer'' is simply the Stirling area edition of Scottish & Universal Newspapers Limited (AKA Trinity Mirror, Britain's biggest newspaper group and publisher of  240 regional papers as well as the national ''Daily Mirror'', ''Sunday Mirror'' and ''The People|People'', and the Scottish ''Sunday Mail (Scotland)|Sunday Mail'', the Scottish ''Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record'', and ''Dumfries & Galloway Standard''), and it is to be expected that they would cover topics in their area.  In depth articles in '''the''' newspaper expected to cover that area is fine. Notable to Scotland is perfctly fine to en.Wikipedia, and we do not expect worldwide acclaim for a topic deterninable as notable to Scotland. And that BAFTA choses to recognize new talent does not lessen the accolade or its sourcable notability.http://www.google.com/search?q=%22BAFTA+New+Talent+Awards%22&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=nws&ei=VJTyTovXMsqpiQKR9viHDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=4&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAw Lots of comepetion and very few making it through the gauntlet. The award is itself notable as it is an award ONLY for newcomers, not those long establisahed in the industry... established filmmakers have other means of recoginition. We have a demonstrably notable award bestowed by a notable organization and specifically set to recognize New Talent (I am reminded of Young Artist Awards). This meets the criteria of being a notable award per ... and ANYBIO does not state that awards specifically intended to award only New Talent are somehow disqualified from meeting its criteria. I'll be back once the article has been rebuilt
