Non-notable author of a guide to "massage parlours" (i.e. brothels) in the UK. Lacks coverage in independent reliable media; pretty much all material online relates to his "guide". The Celestial City (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I am responding here because I had a note on my talk page that the article was up for deletion. Oddly enough I was bemused by the note, since I had no idea who George McCoy was. I went to the page and remembered that I'd found it in a bad state some years ago and cleaned it up. I'd been watching a documentary on British TV in which Mr McCoy featured, so I'd looked him up. I really don't know if he is notable enough or not, but I don't think the subject of his literary efforts should be a factor in making the decision. It could be reverted to its original title.Paul B (talk) 11:56, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added Dwaynewest's links to the article. Someone with more time on their hands might be able to take the information in those articles and add them to the article. Between the links added and Mr McCoy's television appearances, I'd consider this to be qualified article. -- RoninBK _{T C} 17:39, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
