Having declined speedy deletion, I'm nominating the biography for deletion here. The article sets out coverage in reliable sources. 1 doesn't cover Fudge directly, it uses him as an example to open an article on balloon art generally; 2 is a video piece complementing Article 1; 3 is very much a puff piece. I think reasonable minds might differ on this one (hence declining speedy deletion). I don't think it's enough independent and reliable coverage to support a biography.

Delete: Non-notable biography. The article was speedy deleted earlier. — Abhishek ^Talk 03:08, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having read the article, I don't see why this would be deleted from this website. This seems to be an accurate piece on a young mans accomplishments in a hard economy. I remember seeing this article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal a few years ago and I have followed his art on his website and facebook ever since. He seems to be an accomplished young man, and I don't see how this website can erase a piece of written history because he's not technically famous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Friendlyart7 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Oh, lovely! - a human interest story. Nice balloon twisting, but don't quite see how he satisfies any criterion of WP:ENTERTAINER Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 09:20, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article was deleted before. I nominated this one as well for speedy deletion and suddenly here it is. It does not change the fact that this is a non-notable biography. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 13:03, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen wiki articles with less material, lol. Don't see any reason to delete this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christianally (talk • contribs) 14:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
