I believe the reason gave in his removed PROD is valid; "Fails WP:BASIC with no secondary sources". The sources given seem to only be links to the radio stations mentioned in the article, without indicating how they are relevant to this person. Article seems to be an autobiography for promotional purposes. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

If you tell me how to add secondary sources then I will add them. The page is not for promotional reasons at all it's to highlight achievements in the radio industry over the past 15 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigbailey0012 (talk • contribs) 12:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree with initial PROD, fails WP:BASIC unable to find any significant sources that would qualify. Paste  Let’s have a chat. 12:25, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * To have an article on Wikipedia, article subjects must be shown with independent (secondary) reliable sources that indicate how the subject is notable per the relevant notability guidelines, in this case those for biographies. Merely linking to the radio station websites Mr. Bailey is associated with is not an independent reliable source; this would include things like news stories, independent reviews of his work, books, etc. I would ask you again if you are associated with Mr. Bailey in any way. 331dot (talk) 12:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. A radio personality does not qualify for a Wikipedia article if the only "sources" you can provide to support the information are the primary source web pages of the stations he's been affiliated with — notability is conditional on his being the subject of substantive coverage in sources he is not affiliated with, such as newspapers and books. I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can actually show the kind of sources that actually pass muster toward meeting WP:GNG, but his own "our staff" profile on the web page of his own employer does not get him into an encyclopedia in and of itself.
