Paul Perry (radio)

I am just not seeing the notability inherent in being a sometime-radio DJ for relatively short stints, nor am I seeing the prospects for enlarging this fourteen-year stub. BD2412 T 06:25, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Local radio hosts are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's possible to single-source the fact that they exist(ed) as local radio hosts — radio personalities need to either (a) be associated with a national radio network, or (b) have enough reliable source coverage about them, in media outlets other than their own employers, to pass WP:GNG on their sourcing and substance. There's just nothing stated here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more sources than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia used to have no inclusion criteria so we allowed these hyper local articles. We now have actual inclusion criteria, and Perry is in no way close to meeting any of them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
