Fails WP:BIO. Unnnotable person who has no "significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions", does not have "a large fan base or a significant 'cult', and who has not "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions" to the entertainment field.

 * Keep as host of a notable TV show despite paucity of ghits. JJL (talk) 00:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure I'd agree with that considering the Wikipedia article on the show is no longer than his. :P We also have hosts of much more notable shows that also do not have articles.  Notability does not inherit. AnmaFinotera (talk) 00:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not meet notability. I tried Google but couldn't find any reliable sources for this person. ― LADY GALAXY 01:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Many more hits under "Alex Boylan" than the article as named:, , , . For inclusion in the ext. links at the article: , . JJL (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well then, I suppose it's rather unfortunate the article uses his full name. There's this Wikipedia rule that articles should be named to what they're most commonly known as. Otherwise it gets too confusing. ― LADY GALAXY 18:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That doesn't mean we can't use as citations stuff that refers to him as Alex, when it's clearly still him. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 23:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - per JJL's proof of notability. The fact that some have said "I found nothing on Google" despite that clearly not being the case when JJL searched is slightly suspicious. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 23:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. Needs multiple reliable sources. NBeale (talk) 08:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability, and I'm not sure that Animal Attractions Television is a notable programme either (or, at least, notable enough to confer notability on its host). Lankiveil (complaints 02:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC).
