Borderline case that I don't think quite meets WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, WP:NCREATIVE. The only significant coverage in an independent source is the Herald Scotland piece that is mostly an interview (I found nothing else when searching online). While the subject has apparently written for multiple notable sketch shows such as Not the Nine O'Clock News, he was not pivotal enough of a member of any of them to get even passing mention in any of their Wikipedia articles. I was unable to find any reviews in reliable sources of the books that the subject has written. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:55, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The two sources found by E.M.Gregory and The Herald Scotland profile are probably enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:10, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep, as Rebecca Green says, sourcing on the page carries him over the bar.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:14, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I think there are just enough sources to meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
