Sorry, but we need have some form of notability standards to add someone to an article - even a set of notable residents. A key factor is that we need to show notability - that means we need to find some sort of source to suggest he is notable. We'd usually look for a regional level source in an ideal world - so the EDP would be fine. I can find no reference to him in the EDP. Heck, I can find no reference to him in the Beccles and Bungay Journal or the Waveney Advertiser - and they're essentially advert sheets. I can find his own (free and, frankly, appalling) website (if he'd like a copy editor I'm cheap...).

When you have something that shows real, proper notability then get back to us please. Until then, there's really no justification for adding him anywhere on wikipedia. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

YOUR RUDE


 * My rude what? Or did you mean something else? The offer of cheap copyediting stands by the way - it really, really needs it.


 * As a heads up, if you use 4 tilde characters it will sign your talk page comments for you. That helps everyone know who said what and when. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
