Delete looks like a case of WP:BLP1E, I'm sure they would be thrilled to know they have an article here. Qrsdogg (talk) 12:28, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not against a selective merge and redirect either. Qrsdogg (talk) 20:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. or Merge or Redirect to EuroMillions#Notable Wins. They aren't just any old lottery winners, it's the record win of the Euromillions draw. However, most of this article is just a recap of how this was reported in the news. The bit about the Sunday Times Rich List is interesting, but this isn't quite correct: according to the BBC News article, the lottery winner would have only gone to 430th place if all the money went to one individual - sharing it between two doesn't count.Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:Single event. I highly doubt Colin and Chris will mentioned in the news, it's like creating an article for a cat that was lost and found....it was one event and that was that. SwisterTwister talk 06:28, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
