Ray Cameron (comedian)

This article is predominantly about Cameron's son: he wouldn't be notable enough to warrant his own page without this famous connection, so fails WP:NOTINHERITED. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Please don't delete this article. It's very interesting and there are many Michael MacIntyre fans that are interested in knowing his family background. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.226.232.193 (talk) 13:55, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. A Books search reveals plenty of coverage related to his being the father of his son, but little to none about him himself. He does get SIGCOV in Barry Cryer's book, Butterfly Brain, but I can't see it anywhere else. Naypta ☺ &#124; ✉ talk page &#124; 14:19, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so people are not exempted from having to clear our notability and sourceability standards just because they have famous children — but nothing here constitutes a strong claim that he would pass our notability standards in his own right, and even the sources are fundamentally about his son rather than him. What little content we require (or can reliably source) about Cameron can be contained entirely in Michael McIntyre's article without needing a standalone biography of him as an independent topic.
