Prod contested on the grounds that this person has been on TV last week. However, his notability rests only on the fact he was involved in a financial scandal a few years ago, thereby failing WP:BLP1E. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC) Keep: He has been on TV within the last week and has large hits and people want to find out about him opposed to me  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.180.99 (talk) 21:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.  TheAE  talk / sign  04:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, Main claim of notability is being married to someone famous, but notability is not inherited. The other claim is pure WP:BLP1E material, just because it can be sourced, it doesn't mean that there is a pressing need to include it in an encyclopædia.

 * Keep. I think someone with 1,070 Google News results is probably notable. He has been widely covered, and has appeared on TV several times, notably in the BBC charity boxing match against Ricky Gervais.--Michig (talk) 11:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although he has recently appeared as a supposed celebrity on popular UK TV series Hell's Kitchen, and does receive coverage in UK media (if mainly in relation to his more famous wife), not really notable in himself, as the entry makes fairly clear TheGrooveGuru (talk) 14:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Anthea Turner, where he is mentioned in the section about his wife's personal life. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. He isn't just known for being married to someone famous. He has appeared in a celebrity boxing match on the BBC and in a celebrity cooking show, and has received wide coverage for his business dealings:, , , , , --Michig (talk) 06:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Does getting his brains mashed in by "David Brent" make him notable. Donnie Park (talk) 10:04, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage in reliable sources makes him notable.--Michig (talk) 10:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per nom, does his other notability includes running off with a C-lister and endorsing a chocolate in some wedding shoot make him notable, nope. Donnie Park (talk) 10:04, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So he's not notable because he married a celebrity and "endorsed a chocolate", irrespective of the coverage he's received for his business interests? Good reasoning.--Michig (talk) 10:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
