This person is not notable. He is just a Creative Director of a non-notable company in the UK. Furthermore, simply being a published author does not automatically entail notability (in this instance, neither listed book is notable either). This article is an orphan because no other pages would link to it since it's trivial and not Wikipedia worthy. Jrcla2 19:40, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

• Weak delete--weak, since there is a bit of coverage (not incorporated into the article), though not enough, in my opinion, to warrant inclusion. Budd is cited twice in an [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/the-great-socialite-of-the-web-becomes-a-billy-no-mates-1639568.html article] in The Independent, and is cited as an expert in [http://www.popsci.com/article/2007-03/web-20-toxic-and-needs-die a brief article] on Web 2.0, on the PopSci website. Not enough, though, and they don't amount to in-depth discussion of our subject, as WP:N requires us to find. Drmies (talk) 20:42, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence of any real impact aside from weasel-wording. --Calton | Talk 02:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. Evidently non-notable. (if that is sufficient for a keep...) Niteshift36 (talk) 04:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
