This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English.

Proposed article deletion

Jezhotwells has proposed that this article, ‘The Trial of Davros’, be deleted for the reason “Non notable amateur play, can find no RS to establish notability”. I have removed the deletion message for the following reasons:

The proposer has failed to take any account or make mention of a notability rationale contained within the article itself.
At the time of writing there are 17 Wikipedia pages linked to the article, not including pages associated with the deletion proposal notification.
At the time of writing Googling “The Trial of Davros” produces 59,700 results.
It appears that the proposer has unreasonably attempted to add weight to their deletion proposal by inserting an 'unreferenced' tag in the article at the same time as the 'notability' tag, when in fact the article history shows that it has contained references since its creation in December 2010.
It appears that the proposer has unreasonably attempted to add weight to their deletion proposal in that immediately after inserting the 'notability' and 'unreferenced' tags in the article they edited the article’s Discussion Page by inserting a 'WikiProject Theatre' assessment template, indicating class=stub, importance=low.
Notability in Wikipedia must satisfy the requirements of significant coverage, reliable secondary sources and independence of the subject. Proving significant coverage meeting the required criteria would be time consuming, but a reasonable presumption that this is the case may be extrapolated from the following examples.

If the proposer or anyone else feels that Wikipedia will be improved by the deletion of this article rather than its retention then, as its author, I consider it would be appropriate for me to recuse myself from further discussion and to let the matter be decided by consensus at AfD.
