The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The argument that the subject passes GNG holds little water in the absence of any in-depth reliable sources. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:47, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very minor, local radio presenter. His claim to notability is being a friend of a failed pop star who once appeared in a 90s boyband, and for having a stint as a cover presenter on a London-based local radio station. Cassianto^Talk 21:46, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - after I removed the WP:BLPSOURCES violating content (citing blogs, the Daily Mail or just making stuff up that isn't in the sources given), there's not much left. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:16, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: He even had his stint on drivetime. Though the article needs some minor cleanup, it's still good enough to pass WP:GNG. _SUPER ^ASTIG 01:06, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • We would be polishing a turd if we were to clean this up, I'm afraid. And why does a "stint on drive time" make it notable? I had a drive time show on a community radio station about ten years ago, where I lived; does that make me notable too? Cassianto^Talk 07:17, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • BTW, if you're thinking of arguing with me over my vote, don't bother responding at all. I'm not looking for an argument or debate here. I'll still stand for my vote no matter what. _SUPER ^ASTIG 01:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • BTW, why are you being so hostile? I suggest you wind your neck in a little. Cassianto^Talk 07:20, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Cassianto: I don't like it when people argue with me whilst contradicting or questioning my vote. As if they're looking for a debate & forcing me to change my vote. This has happened to me in the past AfDs. _SUPER ^ASTIG 13:21, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Has it occurred to you that if you omit your rather stupid "don't bother to argue with me, I'm not interested" disclaimer, people wouldn't argue with you? Cassianto^Talk 21:31, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
