This appears to be an entry for someone who never actually existed, and rather embarrassingly has been sitting on Wikipedia for several years. Angmering (talk) 20:11, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the article was true then this person would show up in the extensive material on the history of the BBC. But I can find no evidence of them. (Don't be tricked like I was originally by the Google Books result here. That's extracted from Wikipedia.) Tassedethe (talk) 21:01, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Apparent hoax. No reliable sourcing to evidence existence, let alone notability. Creator was indefinitely blocked in 2012. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 09:30, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely bogus. I know enough of broadcasting history that I would know his name if he had been real.  The name produces no responses on the BBC's Genome website, which decisively confirms his non-existence.  RobinCarmody (talk) 00:59, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
