Duncan Harrison is the winner of a nation wide competition out of 1000s of entrants. He won the contest, which was televised, and won the title of Britain's best yound speaker. He is noteworthy in that he has this title, making him an achieved and well-known person in Britain as a whole. Being the best Young Speaker in Britain, he is in fact famous, and worthy of a wikipedia article. --Koponen (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Are there enough sources for this?

First of all, thanks a lot for all of the really useful work that's been done on making this such a full article.

I do have a worry though, that the vast, vast majority of it can't have sources. It seems like it's one person's (rather incessantly supportive) interpretation of the episodes, rather than anything that can be backed up. I am unhappy that there probably won't be anyone else willing to balance out whatever views the principal editor has, and no reliable source to quote. However, while I think the quality of accuracy of the article is tainted, I still find it useful.

So I would recommend cutting down the sections which can't be sourced at all - the "favourite quotes" and episode summary based on an individual's opinions. For more info on whether that's a justified thing to do, a good resource is WP:SOURCE.

Overall, well done on the time put into creating the article. Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 22:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

yes, after I first made it, I stopped editting, because other people had started. Therefore, I never really saw the whole "memorable Quotes" thing. Since I have little experience in Wiki Management, I do not know what the policy would be on removing it or not.--Koponen (talk) 21:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
