Fine people, working for a worthy cause. Just not really notable, plus the tone of self-promotion is further reason to delete. Merge any useful details into Autism Awareness Campaign UK (itself an atrociously-written article probably worthy of deletion). Biruitorul 23:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Notability was iffy when it was first brought up, and now the only major addition is that they met Tony Blair. Big deal. fuzzy510 04:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Founding an autism awareness campaign that gets the attention of a head of state is notable enough as people may find this background on the founders useful and interesting. 69.116.170.120 02:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- 1. The head of state of the United Kingdom is Queen Elizabeth II, who is not mentioned in the article. No commoner has held the position since the 1650s.
- 2. The fact that "people may find this background useful and interesting" is not grounds for retention. They founded an awareness campaign? Great for them. Does the campaign deserve an encyclopedia entry? Doubtful. Do they? Well, no. A line or two in the campaign article (until and unless that too goes) should suffice. This is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service, no matter how worthy the cause.
- And 3. — 69.116.170.120 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. -- Biruitorul 03:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Nice people. Worth a paragraph on the Autism Awareness page. Oops - it's already there. Redundant entry. MarkinBoston 22:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per MarkinBoston. --Aarktica 21:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per MarkinBoston. Ivan and Charika Corea don't appear to have any claim to notability outside of founding the Autism Awareness Campaign UK which already has its own article. The Coreas are already mentioned (appropriately) in the campaign's article. There is no reason to have two articles that essentially cover the same material.
