Delete. Little or no coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Levdr1lp / talk 08:14, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I would suggest that being senior reporter for a natioanl news programme made him notable. The lack of references implies tagging for improvement, not deletion. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:30, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is little or no coverage outside the Swain article (if I were basing my position on the article alone, I would vote "speedy delete"). If you can find a "significant" level of reliable coverage online or elsewhere, then please do so, and feel free to share. Levdr1lp / talk 00:02, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - his profile suggests he will have featured prominently on TV news (unfortunately, or fortunately, I don't watch ITV morning news). He was gleefully shamed by most of the major UK newspapers in October 2009 for swearing loudly during a live TV broadcast (doing a bunjee jump, not quite Bagdad, but hey!) [1] [2]. His marriage, with some biographical info, was featured in the newspaper of a major UK city [3]. Sionk (talk) 03:15, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
