Talk:Daniel Boys

message: In the article it is stated Boys was born in Yateley. This is a misnomer. Lots of articles reference London as his place of birth and the reference given makes no mention of either his parents or his birthplace. Needs a proper citation in my opinion. I did know Boys as a child and know that he was actually born in nearby Frimley Park Hospital which is next to the town Camberley in Surrey whereas Yateley, certainly where he went to school is in Hampshire. 86.15.128.219 (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Per WP:EL, the external links in the article should be to authoritative or official sites or those directly relevant to the topic. See specifically this section. Anything other ("Friendliest Daniel Boys Forum", for example) is considered linkspam. Dafyd 15:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: 1. Boys is known for being on a 2007 talent show. 5 years on. Which he was only of the last 5 and not the winner. Only the Winner and the SHOW ITSELF should be NOTABLE not each contestant.
2. Has not recorded any music in last 3 years.
3. We could find HUNDREDS of theatre performers who are on par with boys & he has a page dedicated to him and they don't. 
4. The page is far too biased. Its not impartial at all.
5. The tone is all wrong. This is a fan page not a Wikipedia page!!!
I have nothing against him myself but surely we should spend less time making pages for moderately talented people and concentrate on things of value  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.7.143 (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If the cast of the 'dreadful' Towie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Only_Way_Is_Essex) are notable - so is Daniel. Who at least has a talent. Note - every page on wiki is at some stage a FAN page. As each page is written by an author interested in that subject - hence Train fans - train articles, TV fans - articles on actors etc....! So Not for deletion, unless thousands and thousands of other pages would also be deleted.DavidAnstiss (talk) 19:56, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

message: As one of the original contributors to this page I agree it should be deleted.
It has become a page for fandom. Poor quality. Delete it and if someone thinks its important enough, get them to redraft it from scratch no impartiality here

thread_title:  ''Neighbours'' theme 

message: This is just a fanboy page of a relatively unknown stage actor and I move that it be deleted.
My reasons are thus:
* Has never been in a television series where he has acted.
* Has never been in a film where he is credited as an actor.
* Has released one self funded album. Is not on a Major record label.
* Has released no singles to date. Had no chart success.
* He came 5th on Any Dream Will Do. He was not the winner, runner up or third place.
* Show he was in 'Any Dream Will Do' was 7 years ago.
* Contestants that come fifth in say Pop Idol, X Factor DO NOT HAVE Wiki pages.
* Has been a stand in or understudy for a major stage production, does not mean he is a leading actor.
* Just because he happens to be gay, it is no reason to include him 'just because'
* Is not a particularly good singer or actor for that matter. 
It does not meet the criterion set out in the Notability guidelines of Wiki. If anyone disagrees please can you go check them out then come back and explain how you can justify his inclusion.
