David Love (adventurer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable. Has done a bit of climbing. Sources are mostly either dead or blogs. Ericoides (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Hasn't this guy done TV work? He seems familiar to me for some reason, but ye, article feels promo. Govvy (talk) 14:02, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The "Notable expeditions & adventures" in the article lists a pilot show from 2006. The author of the article is User:Lo5707, who has to date made 27 edits in almost a year, mostly to this article or to the other David Love (geologist) article. One would assume that this user is also the subject of the article. Sources are his own commercial website, his sponsor's Twitter, a charity/adventure blog, a friend's blog, an Instagram post, an offline article from an army journal, and the one RS, the London Gazette, which gives his army promotions up to the rank of Major.

 * Delete. Doesn't get past GNG.  Run-of-the-mill adventurer.  The only two things that are vaguely notable are his pilot documentary and the expedition to Sudan.  Neither has garnered much attention as far as I can see. SpinningSpark 22:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete London Gazette helps towards notability, but this feels WP:PROMO and there doesn't seem enough towards WP:GNG. It's hard to find any sources on the web also. Govvy (talk) 20:20, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
