This guy actually is mentioned in a lot of news, but always in the form of "he said something in response to some police-related event that happened recently", almost never any coverage about him personally. The only exception I see is that one time he rode a bicycle for a long way as a charity thing, which is... also questionably notable. mi1yT·C 21:34, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. The subject appears to be a police officer who does a good job and is occasionally quoted by local media. Notability is not shown by the limited coverage the subject has received. Sorely fails WP:GNG and clearly does not meet WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 22:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the West Yorkshire Police. He's not notable by himself, is usually the media contact for whatever event/crime/thing the police are working on. Oaktree b (talk) 02:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. NN relatively junior officer. No point in a redirect to his force, where he isn't (and shouldn't be) mentioned. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:22, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not notable enough to necessitate an independent article JRed176 (talk) 21:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unremarkable career that fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 04:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He is a good officer, but that does not make him notable. NMasiha (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
