Fails WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Absolutely zero reliable sources. The only sources are routine and trivial tabloid coverage such as the banned Daily Mail ( "Ex On The Beach's Jem Lucy enjoys steamy reunion with Marty McKenna"). Zero in-depth coverage, even in tabloids. AusLondonder (talk) 21:55, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Keep Meets WP:ENT #1 as member of two notable shows, Ex on the Beach and Geordie Shore. I've removed the Daily Mail ref (that sentence had other sources anyway). The article is new and the sources - from national newspapers mainly - are more than sufficient for the points they reference, e.g. that he is in those 2 notable shows, one of which is airing at the moment. There is no consensus that the other sources used are unreliable, especially 'Metro', and MTV is a primary source but not an unreliable one. There are numerous articles about him and his part in these shows, numerous with his name in the title. Clearly meets WP:BASIC: f the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. The articles (there are many more on him) cover his roles in these shows and his relationships. That the full articles are often on this with his name in title shows it is not what is meant in BASIC by 'trivial coverage'.

 * How on earth does this meet WP:GNG? Are you kidding? Show me just two reliable sources to demonstrate in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources? AusLondonder (talk) 20:04, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep There are many good sources in this article. I don't like these kind of shows, and he is not going to change the world, but there is coverage there in many non-tabloid newspapers and he has been in multiple notable TV programmes. MartinJones (talk) 19:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
