WP:BLP of a radio news reporter, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. As always, a journalist doesn't get an automatic inclusion freebie just because it's possible to verify that he exists -- the notability test requires external validation of the significance of his work, such as noteworthy journalism awards and/or the reception of media coverage about him in sources independent of his career (i.e. not just his own staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer). But this just states that he exists, and is referenced entirely to sources that are not support for notability at all: staff profile of course, a glancing namecheck of his existence in an organizational blog that isn't about him, a transcript of a piece of journalism where he was the reporter and not the subject, and a film narration credit circularly sourced to the film itself rather than any evidence of coverage about his work on the film. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the very well reasoned nomination of the nominator. Not every radio presenter is default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
