Delete for such a tout in the one-line unsourced bio one would expect throngs of reliable sources, hoards of kudos, accolades by the gazillion. But a google search turns up many Colin Gilbert, none obviously this guy - of course we don't have much to go on other than he's had a long career of trying to make Scots laugh. Anyway, notability is a bit thin and the flattery thick. Fails WP:BIO. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

: Actually, with only modest effort I found [http://www.tv.com/colin-gilbert/person/179000/appearances.html?tag=mini;content_nav this], which seems obviously to be the person described here, and suggests that his credits, while not quite as impressive as they are made out to be by the peacockery in the article, still are far from trivial. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 00:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

  • {{edit conflict}} Delete as CSDer and per nomination. MS (Talk|Contributions) 00:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm going to bed now, so I don't have time to update the article, but [http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch?um=1&ned=uk&hl=en&num=100&q=%22Colin+Gilbert%22+%2Bcomedy&cf=all this Google News search] finds plenty of sources which are obviously about this guy.
