Previously deleted by PROD and BLPPROD a number of times, and then re-created by the same editor. No evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 15:07, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment His common name and numerous articles by him makes it very hard to search on google, so I'm hoping that a Scotish native might be able to help out - the incident with a club chairman happened over 10 years ago, and he seems to broadcast the biggest sport in Scotland, so he may be notable, we just haven't found the refs yet. There isn't much other info to help with the search, either. I'll vote later in the week to see if others can find any decent refs. The-Pope (talk) 15:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Him being punched by Jim McLean was quite newsworthy at the time, but would probably qualify as WP:BLP1E. He has worked regularly for BBC Radio Scotland, but hasn't been the lead commentator for BBC Scotland or Scottish television, unlike Archie Macpherson, Arthur Montford, Jock Brown, Rob MacLean, Paul Mitchell or Liam McLeod. That would probably be a notability rule of thumb for Scottish commentators. Therefore I vote to delete. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:58, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - As one of the filers of an earlier PROD, I still see no indication of meeting notability requirements. As a side note, I have just now restored the older, PROD-deleted history.  It'll be re-deleted if this AFD ends as Delete, but should be availible if this ends as a Keep. - TexasAndroid (talk) 19:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - As Jmorrison stated qualifies, as WP:BLP1E but hasn't had persistent coverage in reliable sources. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 19:26, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
