Local radio presenter with nothing of note. Possible self-promotion Funky Snack (Talk | Contribs) 21:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Allan is a well known radio broadcaster, presenting shows across the UK. The article needs more verifications, but should not be deleted.

Draftify: There is a lot of unsourced information to go through here, and the article may be able to be rescued if someone has the time to go through it and find sources for what can be sourced (and remove what can't be) - draftify is my preference, so that any usable content is retained while the article is repaired and potentially moved back to mainspace. The presenter is well-known enough regionally that there is a chance of a viable article here. Flip Format (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article is less clear-cut when compared to the AfD regarding Colin Bunyon, especially when you consider Flip Format points, and I have already removed some of the unsourced material and associated padding. Notability is satisfied due to length of time on-air but the article could do with additional references to satisfy these concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rillington (talk • contribs) 02:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have now changed my vote from weak keep to keep following the removal of unsourced material, and also due to the article having multiple independent references. Rillington (talk) 02:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't think "possible self-promotion" is a valid reason for deletion. This ought to be discussed/ investigated first via the Talk page? The article page statistics here show that most edits have been made by named accounts. Who's being accused here? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
