Delete. The article is on the verge of being a stub, isn't entirely neutral, and as a quick Google search will note, Brock isn't particularly noteworthy. Dictator Black (talk) 03:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This article was in a strange state, as additions by WP:SPA Jasonpetersuk had turned it into a how-to article promoting a "Brock Initiative" wrapped inside a pre-existing biography. The main body of these additions was a WP:COPYVIO which I have removed. A substantial part of what remains can probably also be considered a WP:COPYVIO: see the Mission section of [1].

Keep As executive producer and producer on Life on Earth, The Living Planet, Wildlife on One, Natural World, and others, he certainly meets WP:CREATIVE#3 "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of ... of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." There are reviews of these series, and episodes within them, describing them as "Richard Brock's film", "Richard Brock's documentary", etc. The article certainly needs work, as it represent the body of work for which he is notable in just one sentence - the second and third paras could be deleted, and his work expanded, with sources from The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Stage, etc. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
