 * What is the "this article" that has been removed? &#8209;&#8209; Mandruss  &#9742;  09:29, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Considering OP's mention of "Kent Online", I would guess that they're talking about the second reference in the Neil Francis article. The reference, by the way, was an article that is no longer online.  Dismas |(talk) 09:33, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I see. The Kent article is not archived at Wayback and I don't know how to check Webcite. So I guess the thing to do is delete the dead ref and keep the information with the one good one? &#8209;&#8209; Mandruss  &#9742;  09:41, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I checked Wayback as well and didn't find it. I'm not sure what to do in these cases.  Dismas |(talk) 09:47, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * There are several other sources for this, but all appear to be very brief statements and I don't know how to check for WP:CIRC. The Radio Today source appears to be dated the day before the information was first added to the article. &#8209;&#8209; Mandruss  &#9742;  09:52, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Neilfrancis: My take is that there is no justification for removing the suspension from the article; is it sufficiently sourced in the Radio Today article. If you can provide a reliable source stating that the suspension was lifted, I think that could (and should) be added to the article. But please don't attempt to edit the article yourself, per Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. &#8209;&#8209; Mandruss  &#9742;  10:15, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Notability
The suspension is WP:BLP1E if he is a non-notable person (although he is arguably high-profile as a radio presenter). We only have one source outside of that, which is also about hiring/firing. Without more sources this looks notability can be challenged. Widefox ; talk 15:38, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
