The result was delete. The "keep" position in this discussion revolved around the opinion that all BBC presenters are notable (so long as they have a staff profile), regardless of coverage. This is adequately rebutted by the users in the "delete" position. Exemptions from the General Notability Guideline do exist as their own specific notability guidelines, but no guidelines mention any such exemption for employees of an organization or company as is suggested.

Based on this, I see adequate consensus in favour of article deletion. The SandDoctor Talk 15:36, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

delete. This is another BBC presenter with hardly any reliable sources and references. UK Wiki User (talk) 09:04, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Keep. All BBC presenters are notable, though I'm not sure about Toby and Smudge.--Davidcpearce (talk) 17:22, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I'm having to disagree with you. Just because people work for the BBC doesn't mean they're notable. If you can provide more reliable sources and references, feel free to contribute. UK Wiki User (talk) 20:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Delete Not notable and fueled by primary sources. Many similarly named people turned up on a Google search. sixty nine  • whaddya want? •  06:11, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. BBC presenters are notable if they can be shown to clear WP:GNG as the subject of reliable source coverage; they are not notable if the best source you can show is their staff profile on the BBC's own self-published website. Nobody but nobody ever but ever gets an automatic inclusion freebie just because they have a staff profile on their own employer's website — no matter what notability claim is being made, the actual notability test is always still the amount of journalism that sources other than the person's employer have been motivated to do about him.
