BBC radio reporter with no evidence of notability. This was unsourced from May 2008 until very recently; I prodded it in its unsourced state, after which it was sourced and deprodded. But while the sources are enough to convince me that the article is factual, they aren't enough to convince me that we should have an article on this subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:46, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article doesn't even really assert the subject's importance, and the given sources don't seem to indicate notability. I don't see any evidence that he is highly cited or has won any awards. Many of the sources in the article are associated with BBC and thus are not independent. One of the sources is a blog, and I don't think it's an expert blog that can be considered a reliable source. I'm not sure what this source is as I cannot access it. A Google search turns up mostly the sources already in the article, but nothing that indicates notability per WP:BIO or WP:CREATIVE in particular. PDCook (talk) 22:55, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
