Seems to me a minor journe4, I don't think that the sources are strong enough to establish notability. TheLongTone (talk) 13:22, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Will Buxton is very notable in F1 motorsports as a journalist. He's probably among the most recognizable in the sport. I think his work for NBC Motorsports and as a presenter for F1's official coverage meets notability criteria. Sasquatch t|c 19:54, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sasquatch: he doesn't present official F1 coverage, only the analysis on their website/social media channels. SSSB (talk) 14:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)\[reply]

@SSSB: F1's official coverage is posted through their website... Each independent broadcaster has their own team to provide commentary, but he is most certainly a presenter for F1's official media side. Additionally, Paddock Pass (which is his co-creation if not entirely his creation) is probably one of the most well known English F1 segments. Sasquatch t|c 19:07, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sasquatch: - you've changed my mind and I have therefore changed my opinion below. SSSB (talk) 08:53, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:N, WP:NPEOPLE and WP:JOURNALIST (his work for the official F1 website/social media channels isn't enough to satisfy criteria #3 as he only presents, he doesn't (co)-create them). SSSB (talk) 14:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Weakly, Sasquatch has changed my mind along with some contemplation, his work on the fore front and sole presenter of F1's official coverage on social media and F1's official website (how F1 plans on getting all of their new fans) just makes him notable, along with paddock pass which he apparently did co-create (F1 onlines most regular feature) threfore satisfing WP:JOURNALIST.
