An article on this person was deleted at AfD in July 2010. However, rather than put forward this article as a CSD G4, I am noting that the subject's newspaper column subsequently received a South West England award and got into the Guinness Book of Records in 2011. I have therefore tidied its references and am bringing it back to AfD to check whether the 2010 consensus still holds. My own view is that the subject still falls short of the Notability criteria.

 * Delete Not notable. Although he did get listed in the Guinness record book (the first thing I did was confirm that listing since it was referenced only to his own column, but it checks out), he seems to have gotten exactly zero publicity for that listing. The only things found at Google News Archive are his own column in his own paper, the Bristol Evening Post. The award won seems exceedingly minor. --MelanieN (talk) 01:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
