This is an odd one. For starters, he doesn't look notable. Two, he seems to have died recently, although I could find no obituary beyond a death notice. But weirder: a relative of his has requested his article be deleted, and claims that the article is in part a hoax 2020111110002678. It doesn't quite meet the letter of WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE however, as the subject isn't living, but it certainly seemed enough to open an AfD over.

 * Weak delete. There are a handful of sources which seem to support some of the content. And at least a partial claim to some notability. Including this and this. However, it has to be noted that these are not especially reliable sources (an otherwise ROTM website and a reprinted UK tabloid news article). The sources in the article are also somewhat light (an archived webpage and IMDB entry which may or may not relate to the subject). Personally I'm not sure that SIGCOV is met (given that sources are thin on the ground, and those that can be found are somewhat thin in content). Absent something more substantive, I'd err towards deletion. Guliolopez (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NBOX....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Given that the subject does not seem to meet NBOX and having seen the OTRS ticket, I see no reason not to honour what seems to be a reasonable request for deletion by the subject's relative. Best, Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 01:34, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
