Nicely written but no evidence of notability. The only source currently in the article is unreliable, and Google gives nothing trustworthy with the exception of this, which is hardly significant coverage. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:18, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No independent coverage to establish notability. The JPS ^{talk to me} 11:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notable per WP:ENTERTAINER as a talkSPORT presenter, a popular radio show that is broadcast throughout the United Kingdom. Inniverse (talk) 04:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ENTERTAINER requires "significant roles in multiple notable... productions" for notability. The sources found so far don't demonstrate that. If you can find some that do I'd be happy to withdraw the nomination, but at present he I can't see how he meets the guideline. Alzarian16 (talk) 17:00, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The full quote from WP:ENTERTAINER reads: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." This person's significant role in multiple productions of talkSPORT is enough to pass WP:ENT. Other credits, such as his work on The Human Zoo, add to his notability. Inniverse (talk) 13:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but do any reliable sources attest to his roles in multiple productions? The only one in the article at present mentions only one show, so the article could still be deleted under the core policy WP:V, which generally overrules notability guidelines.

Keep During his long career he was a regularly on a notable radio show, that makes him notable. Dream Focus 00:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It is debatable whether this person meets WP:ENTERTAINER. However, it should be borne in mind that the guidance is to assist in whether it is likely for someone to meet the GNG, rather than a replacement for the GNG. If it is not clear that someone meets the sub-guideline, then notability should be shown through the GNG. RS are not present in the article, and I could not find them from looking myself, therefore this article should be deleted. Quantpole (talk) 12:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Quantpole's excellent argument. GregJackP Boomer! 22:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
