I couldn't establish that this meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. It has been in CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve this. No obvious WP:ATD. No consensus at 2022 AfD. Boleyn (talk) 20:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not meet WP:JOURNALIST. I don't consider Scottish Sports Writer of the year a major award. LibStar (talk) 09:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment As he died recently, I've updated the article accordingly, including various obituaries. I'm not expressing a view on fulfilment but the content of these may be worth considering in establishing notability. That the BBC saw fit to devote 6 minutes on a national station may be indicative. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:11, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has now been considerably immproved (thank you) with references demonstrating notability about a distinguished and versatile individual. The obituaries are significant articles with editorial content. Thincat (talk) 21:22, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll withdraw my !vote and decide later what to do. Thincat (talk) 09:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Further comment It transpires that evidently there were two Charlie Allans active in journalism, broadcasting and sport in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. What a coincidence that the Afd should be submitted the day the other Charlie's obituary was aired on BBC Radio 4. I have created a separate one, Charlie Allan (farmer), containing the material I collated in the last couple of days. I have returned Charlie Allan (journalist) to its former state which, to me, is insufficient to indicate notability. Mutt Lunker (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * So, on further reflection, Delete the article under discussion. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
