Keep - passes GNG (although a couple of the links are dead). Probably also passes WP:JOURNALIST (regarded as an important figure) or WP:ENTERTAINER (has large fan base - see this for a chuckle). Most of his current google hits are for performing as the MC for various functions, often quite important ones - I'd say this supports being regarded as an important figure and having a large fan base. He's also (if you put much stock in such things) the eightieth-most popular weatherman in the world, according to Ranker.com :) --Yeti Hunter (talk) 04:28, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

where is the coverage, this one can't be indepth coverage for establishing WP:JOURNALIST, WP:ENT or WP:BIO, and ranker really a reliable source? LibStar (talk) 04:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wayback Machine has snapshots of the dead links (here and here - the first is a breif bio from 9 News, the second just lists him as being the weekend weather presenter, though it does note his unique style of presenting. The Advertiser isn't on the NLA digital archive after 1954 yet, so I can't easily check the 1998 article. However being a weekend weather presenter for 13 years means he is a pretty well known part of the local (South Australian) television scene - as evidenced by more recent sources noting his (minor) celebrity status and being a popular MC. Strangely, the Victor Harbor Times is digitised, and has him back in 1999 doing a "celebrity sing-off" at the Victor Harbor Folk Festival. I'm not suggesting for a moment that this makes him notable, but rather using it as evidence that his role as a television personality has made him notable as a South Australian identity.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 00:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
