Delete, quite possibly speedy delete. No evidence of notability at all. Speedy deletion was declined with an edit summary which said "The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7", but I can see no such assertion. The article tells us he made films and taught, but does not tell us that he achieved any particular significance in either of these fields. The only fact about him for which any source is given is that he once gave a shadow puppet workshop, and the source for that is an advertisement for the event.

:Lecturing at animation at the University of Westminster and teaching at the Tate Galleries, the Barbican, the National Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum is at least a credible assertion that there might be notability. No opinion on whether there actually is though. NW (Talk) 12:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Died last year. Not independently notable. Redirect to Chris_Green_(writer/performer)#Personal_Life, where he is named. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Strong Delete- No notability, no references, pretty much nothing at all. Zonafan39 (talk) 04:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

:Delete. I've searched for coverage in reliable sources to indicate that he met WP:BIO inclusion guidelines, but unfortunately I can find nothing - all the references in Google News seem to be to [http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch?pz=1&cf=all&ned=uk&hl=en&q=%22ben+harmer%22&cf=all synonymous unrelated persons]. I'm also not sure about merging to the Chris_Green_(writer/performer) article; though that page does mention Harmer as Green's husband, that claim isn't cited and I am turning up nothing but WP mirrors on searches for [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22ben+harmer%22+%22chris+green%22+-wikipedia&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= their names] [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22ben+harmer%22+%22christopher+green%22+-wikipedia&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= together]. I can't verify that the two were a couple, without which the merge doesn't seem justified. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

::Because I couldn't find sources to support it, I've now removed the uncited "personal life" section from Green's article. Gonzonoir (talk) 11:13, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
