Keep. Even a cursory search establishes notability.TheLongTone (talk) 17:14, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
{Edit conflict} Comment I have no great enthusiasm for media personalities, but did the nominator do WP:BEFORE checks - for example browsing down the preview summaries of a Google Books search? AllyD (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:BIO. I have added some sources and there are plenty more out there that can be included. Housego was an iconic figure at the time and had a significant media profile for some years subsequently. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:35, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily passes the notability threshold. He was (is?) a well known figure in the UK and the references back that up. Philg88 ^♦talk 04:09, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
