 * – ( View AfD View log )

as per last AfD where no one !voted. fails WP:CREATIVE as a TV presenter/reporter and WP:BIO. besides the source in the article, the rest of the coverage merely confirms he's a reporter. note he has a namesake who is a hair stylist. LibStar (talk) 23:32, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: Appears notable based on Category:STV newsreaders and journalists and the number of people in it who appear as notable as he does, including Alan Saunby, Anne Scott, Joan Ingram, and Nichola Kane. He appears to have a large Twitter following, has done reporting archive on the station's website, was mentioned in a local news report, and mentioned in another Scottish Newspaper. Seems notable based on like articles and independent news coverage. --LauraHale (talk) 10:57, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Err ... he "appears notable" because he's listed in a category with other presenters who, themselves, might be notable? Nonsense.  Not only is notability not inherited, never mind venereal, the GNG requires that the subject be cited in "significant detail" in multiple reliable, independent sources.  Twitter feeds don't constitute independent sources.  A self-submitted bullet point bio on a newspaper's blogsite does not constitute "significant detail" or independent.  Pulling up a search for him on Google UK shows the top hits being the usual ones for insignificant subjects: this Wikipedia article, his Facebook page, his Twitter page, his Bebo page, his Linkedin page, his Google Plus page and other forums and social media.  A Google News UK search, by contrast, turns up empty.  Ravenswing  16:08, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's no coverage of him as a TV presenter. The only sources I can find talk about him running in a charity race and playing cricket. His Twitter following isn't relevant, and notability isn't inherited. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:21, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
