Page nominated for deletion previously, but article remains questionable. This page does seem a little bit like a CV for a local radio presenter. Upon research, there's no record of Peach reading news on BBC Radio 2 anymore. I'm not sure about World Service. A lot of links point towards BBC programme pages (most of which are no longer available) which I'm always wary about. My suggestion is a redirect / merge to BBC Radio Berkshire. Previous deletion discussion is here. Although most suggested delete, it was kept. The argument remains. - Funky Snack (Talk) 08:47, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:GNG, no record on BBC Radio 2 doesn't mean it completely removes the person's notability. Also, from the previous nomination, two were deletes and one of them was just a POV delete (and the editor has been blocked since). --qedk (t 桜 c) 21:15, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can confirm via a close and reliable source that Peach no longer reads the news for BBC Radio 2. His primary base is BBC Radio Berkshire weekday mornings. I'm no Wikipedia expert but I would support a merge or re-direct to BBC Radio Berkshire. I don't feel the sources listed on the article for Andrew are reliable and most mention BBC Radio Berkshire rather than him personally.

This isn't done on who knows who. As I said when I created the AfD, this page remains questionable. I, personally, can't find any information Peach reading for BBC Radio 2 anymore. This is done on consensus. As for your "support", it could be that the result is merging / re-directing this page with BBC Berkshire. - Funky Snack (Talk) 16:29, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A shortlisting for the ARIAS, a Frank Gillard Awards gold medal, and quite a number of Radio Academy Awards nominations suggest notability to me - each one of these individually would not mean he's notable, but taken together I believe they do. In addition, WP:GNG is met, just, with the Guardian piece and a couple of other secondary sources. Whether he is still a news reader for Radio 2 is irrelevant, as notability is not temporary. --bonadea contributions talk 12:57, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Local radio presenter only notable to those probably in the broadcast area of BBC Radio Berkshire. Many local radio presenters have done 25+ years. Do they deserve an article too? I, for one, haven’t heard him on BBC Radio 2. I think this is bigged up by the subject, so I say delete or redirect to BBC Radio Berkshire! 2A00:23C7:3106:6F00:3857:A3EF:842C:DD14 (talk) 19:11, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. To be honest, just because you haven't heard him read the news on Radio 2 doesn't necessarily mean he's not working there anymore. However, the fact there is no reference anywhere mentioning this does bring the article into disarray. I have done more digging and still can't find anything about this. Regarding the comment from bonadea, the nominations are for the show, yes ... but it does't mean the article on Peach should be stand alone. There's nothing stopping a merge/re-direct to BBC Radio Berkshire as this is his primary base. - Funky Snack (Talk) 08:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
