This page was deleted before I had time to defend it, so I have created it with a bit more information & external links.

Parkin is notable enough to be on IMDB, to have been interviewed by the BBC about the infomercial business, and to be included in a satire by The Onion[1]. Ben Finn (talk) 19:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would question his notability nevertheless. IMDB attempts to be exhaustive, so inclusion in it does not make someone notable. There are plenty of infomercial presenters, voice-over artists and actors with only minor roles who merit inclusion in IMDB but not Wikipedia. Being interviewed by the BBC about his line of work also doesn't count: there are plenty of people you could say this for. Beorhtwulf (talk) 21:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
