Fails WP:BIO. The first 3 sources are 1 line mentions. The 4th source is by his employer. Also fails WP:JOURNALIST.

 * Weak Keep I searched google news and google books. I found one article about his radio work and a book that has more than a passing mention. I added them. I also discovered that he co-wrote a book and added that in. All that said, none of those edits get him to WP:GNG, however I think he does meet WP:ANYBIO on the basis of criteria 1 that he won a significant award or honor. Now that hinges on others agreement that the Scottish Sports Writer of the year award 1999 is a "significant award". I consider that up for debate, but I lean towards it being enough, especially in combination with a couple of newspapers articles about his radio work and the book that has more than a passing mention. It's a very borderline case, so very weak keep. CT55555 (talk) 04:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
