Although a national radio presenter, there's no evidence he is now on any radio station. The subject just about meets WP:GNG. Still potential for the article. - Funky Snack ( Talk) 10:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Unfortunately a common name, so I may be missing something, but I'm not able to find any in-depth independent coverage. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:35, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. I can find him on a few radio schedules and articles but nothing majorly "independent". As I mentioned in the AfD, just because someone is on national radio does't make them "notable". However, if there are sources elsewhere which mentions his work, there must be potential. I mean he's worked with some big names (according to his article) and having checked the likes of Duncan Barkes and James Whale, these stations do/did exist and his name is mentioned in sources relating to these stations. This is why I think there's potential making the AfD questionable. I can't see why the article would have been allowed to stay up for so long if his notability didn't exist. - Funky Snack ( Talk) 08:12, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Presenter on national stations and several articles and schedules mentioning him. Even if there's "no evidence" that he's on radio anymore, he's still been part of broadcasting. You can't re-write something that's already happened. 2A00:23C7:3104:2900:482F:195F:40E2:285A ( talk) 07:31, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- It's true that
notability is not temporary, so the nominator really shouldn't have bothered including that bit. The issue here is finding in-depth coverage of the subject in independent sources to show that, regardless of current/past jobs, there's enough to satisfy

- I'm happy to withdraw my nomination to allow more time to fiond information on the subject as I strongly believe there's potential and currently enough (just about) to meet
WP:GNG and
WP:BASIC. I agree with those who say there are quite a few broadcasters and DJs with this name, but looking at his article, he is linked with a few presenters such as
Duncan Barkes,
Tommy Boyd and
Iain Dale. -

- Since there are two delete !voters (including me) it can't be withdrawn. You can amend your !vote from the implied "delete" to something else if you've changed your mind. The only purpose of my comment was to remove "he's not currently on the radio" from one of the deletion rationales because arguing against that doesn't argue against the real reasons for deletion, which are based in WP:SIGCOV IMO. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: Barely found anything about him. Not to mention a couple of people involved in radio also bear that name. ASTIG😎 ( ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Like others, I have been unable to find any significant coverage at all. Does not meet notability standards under GNG or any applicable SNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
