Delete. I did a search for the author's name and couldn't find any independent coverage of him at all. I did see where his name was linked to a Frommer's book he co-wrote with his wife, but I don't think that in itself establishes notability. I couldn't find anything independent to back up the claims that Labour of Love won an award, although I found plenty of things that Jewers himself put out. Even if it did, it also depends heavily upon whether this was an award given regionally or if it was given out as far as the Royal Television Society goes as a whole. Even then I'm not sure that a student award for a film would really give enough notability to warrant keeping the article. Most student awards don't. A search of the RTS site does not bring up Jewers' name at all nor the film's. There's just absolutely nothing here to show notability and that the article relies entirely on primary sources is pretty telling. I'm almost wondering if both the article about Jewers and his wife were created by them or someone who knows them. (Not that it's against the rules, but it'd explain a lot.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 15:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
