 * Delete: The subject was a nominee in an "Awards Scotland" Television Journalist of the Year  category in 2014: . However, even if that had been won, such an award would not have been sufficient to demonstrate encyclopaedic notability. The article text is CV-level, and notability is not inherited from covering notable news stories. Fails WP:BASIC, WP:JOURNALIST. AllyD (talk) 08:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Twitter is not a reliable source for anything. It does not matter who the operator is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
