Tagged for notability since 2011. He's a journalist in the gothic scene, he's also authored several gothic books and run his own magazine. I found a couple of refs. The refs look marginal at best. He's had quite a varied career but I'm not convinced he passes GNG. Szzuk (talk) 20:52, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * keep. Notable books, used as many refs in wikipedia itself. - Altenmann >talk 07:11, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I'm familiar with him mainly for his work for Melody Maker, but he seems to get most coverage for his writing on the goth subculture. There's reasonably significant coverage here, and quite a few serious books quoting his writing:, , , . --Michig (talk) 07:12, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - He's notable, but in a niche category. It's still encyclopedic. Cosmic Sans (talk) 18:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
