I couldn't establish that this meets
WP:BIO or
WP:GNG. It has been in
CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve this. No obvious
WP:ATD. No consensus at 2022 AfD.

Delete Does not meet
WP:JOURNALIST. I don't consider Scottish Sports Writer of the year a major award.

Comment As he died recently, I've updated the article accordingly, including various obituaries. I'm not expressing a view on fulfilment but the content of these may be worth considering in establishing notability. That the BBC saw fit to devote 6 minutes on a national station may be indicative.

Keep The article has now been considerably immproved (thank you) with references demonstrating notability about a distinguished and versatile individual. The obituaries are significant articles with editorial content.

I'll withdraw my !vote and decide later what to do.

Further comment It transpires that evidently there were two Charlie Allans active in journalism, broadcasting and sport in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. What a coincidence that the Afd should be submitted the day the other Charlie's obituary was aired on BBC Radio 4. I have created a separate one,
Charlie Allan (farmer), containing the material I collated in the last couple of days. I have returned
Charlie Allan (journalist) to its former state which, to me, is insufficient to indicate notability.

So, on further reflection, Delete the article under discussion.
