Delete, possibly merge with Ian Wright. Looking at the sources, his notability almost entirely rests on being Wright's teacher. His RAF career is mentioned, but he himself does not appear to be a notable member. Overall, there doesn't seem to be enough material to build anything more than a stub.

 * Editing to add As an indication of the level of notability, this article has only 4 inbound links - one is Ian Wright obviously, two "notable residents" mentions and a "See also" link. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:22, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge with Ian Wright. The RAF career as described is entirely WP:ROUTINE, there were thousands of servicemen with similar records. buidhe 09:01, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing notable apart from his connection to Ian Wright, fails WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 09:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable for stand alone article; trivial. Kierzek (talk) 13:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - I don't think that the other page really needs any of this superfluous information. As for this article itself, Pigden simply isn't/wasn't really notable. That's that. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I started this AfD as a delete or merge, but I have to agree with CoffeeWithMarkets, there's no content worth saving here. I'd even remove his mention from the Ian Wright article because it's based on one TV moment and doesn't add anything notable to that article either.

 * Delete No credible claim of notability.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  02:39, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, Per above, no sign of nobility. Alex-h (talk) 13:35, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete- middle school PE teachers are about as randomly run of the mill as can be. Coaching a kid at the age of 12 or 13 does not make one notable. Bearian (talk) 00:44, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to meet WP:GNG and I see no indication of meeting any SNG. Whole claim of notability seems to rest on being Ian Wright's teacher, but notability isn't inherited. Papaursa (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
