Peter Dobbie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Longstanding Wikipedia article about an occasional BBC news presenter (it came to light after another editor nom'd Babita Sharma for deletion). This suggests it may have been written by an agent or someone close to Dobbi - at the moment (and throughout the last 9 years) it's been effectively an unsourced CV. It even seems to have been edited by Dobbie himself. I very vaguely recognise the name and, searching online, I can find this 2014 coverage about a complaining email he sent (even if we treated this coverage as 'significant' it would fall into WP:ONEEVENT). Fails WP GNG. Sionk (talk) 05:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looking back on this nearly ten years after I started the article, I agree he is not particularly notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. No offence Peter. Cloudbound (talk) 11:21, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as although News, Books, browser and Highbeam all found links, there's nothing to suggest better sourcing and improvement. SwisterTwister   talk  17:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors. Not enough in-depth coverage to show notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
