Appears to fail WP:NTV, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. After almost 4 years since the previous AFD, I think it is the perfect time to start a new AFD, before he becomes a chaser on The Chase Australia in 2024.

I am pinging @Cunard, as the nominator, to see if he finds additional references. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 09:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the nominator, I have added references via Newspapers.com, if I ever decide to withdraw the article for deletion.

These are the references:

Pinging @Utopes, @Grahamec, @Duffbeerforme, @Teraplane, @Bookscale, @Johnpacklambert, and @4meter4, which were all the participants in the previous AFD discussion. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 01:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm thoroughly confused by this nomination. Is the nominator providing the sources above as evidence for keeping? If so, just withdraw the nomination as it appears you may have answered your own query.4meter4 (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@4meter4, I cannot seem to find a link to a reference @Duffbeerforme mentioned in the previous AFD discussion (Nicholson, Sarah (27 October 2005). "Master knows best". The Courier-Mail.), but other than that issue, I would withdraw my nomination, as I would keep the article if someone else created this discussion.

I have added the reference you suggested to the article just now. @Cunard, could you please copyedit and expand the article even more? Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 06:46, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As before. As a Sale of the Century (Australian game show) winner and a question/script writer he has coverage spanning over a decade. Articles such as Oliver, Robin (30 September 1991), "QUIZ CHAMP SOLD ON SALE", Sydney Morning Herald and Cockington, James (17 June 1996), "Sold On The Sale", Sydney Morning Herald and Nicholson, Sarah (27 October 2005), "Master knows best", The Courier-Mail focus primarily on him, providing sustained coverage. He was also before Sale a script writer, co writing the notable film Emoh Ruo. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
