Subject is not notable as per WP:BIO and WP:PEOPLE i.e. he has not been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject, and he is not notable for any other reasons. Peteinterpol (talk) 14:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Edited the page to address these concerns. More Referances have been added. More links have also been added. This record should not be deleted.

 * These claims, by an anonymous IP user, are not included in the article and have no independent citations to back them up. Until they do they do it is hard to see how they are relevant to this debate.  Peteinterpol (talk) 21:39, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - Based on WP:AUTHOR,WP:BIO and WP:PEOPLE the article fails all relevant criteria. Based on a Google search, Chris Geiger is a long way away from achieving anything close to any one of these. He seems to have written very few articles, mostly for local newspapers.  According to Amazon.co.uk, he not published any books and a search on Google produces very minimal hits. The charity work is not significant in terms of notability. I have been unable to find any citations to support the claims about a TV programme.  In addition, the article contains material that suggests its creator is Chris Geiger himself  or knows him personally, which raises questions as to whether they should be writing this Wikipedia article. All in all the case for notability is very thin; he has written a handful of non-notable articles, no more.  Peteinterpol (talk) 17:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per the lack of reliable sources. I have reviewed the references in the article and do not believe that any establish notability. The sources include the subject's blog and this article from thisisbristol.co.uk, which, while it is about Geiger, it is not a neutral, third-party reliable source. This article fails Notability (people) and Biographies of living persons. Cunard (talk) 06:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The facts all check out, well written, all within the terms of Bio record. Big following.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Optimus495 (talk • contribs) 10:25, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Looks fine and conforms to biography conditions. All references confirm details. Notability worthwhile. Recommend the AfD removed and page is kept.
