 * Keep Fulfils WP:GNG as well as WP:SUSTAINED by the fact that in addition to being the subject of coverage from several reliable 3rd-party sources, that coverage includes more than just the Apprentice appearance. You could also make a case of him being notable under WP:ENT for his appearances on several other TV programmes as well. Plus the information on his death was extensively covered and not many get several articles on their death from the likes of the BBC. Even after his death, more coverage was available.

 * Delete: per nom, had been deleted per AfD before and only his death had been added, no idea why this not had been G4 CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:59, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Because as said, this is not the same PROMO piece that was deleted 10 years ago. Since then more sources that assert and affirm notability have become available.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:44, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This is correct. The current version has a number of additional sources.  Whether those sources affirm any additional notability than they did regarding the previous version (especially as Baggs is obviously deceased) is what needs to be discussed here.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak keep, somewhat contrary to my usual deletionist tendencies. Satisfies WP:GNG with solid RS refs. Doesn't fall foul of single-event, on account of the TV appearances and the widely-reported death, albeit only just. Not intended to promote anyone's career, etc. I'm not arguing that the subject is the most noteworthy, but it does seem notable in the WP sense, and I can't really think of a good reason to delete. And given the publicity this chap generated, if I were to come to Wikipedia and not find an article on him, I would be at least mildly surprised; an entirely unofficial inclusion criterion, perhaps, but somehow to me that feels like the proverbial litmus test. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, the sources listed in the article are sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Sun8908 &#8239;Talk 15:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - significant coverage from BBC, Radio Times, The Independent and other major national sources Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:08, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
