Promotionally-toned article created by SPA. No evidence of notability under WP:GNG or more specific guidelines such as WP:NJOURNALIST. WP:BEFORE shows material by subject (though not in RSes) and mentioning subject (in tabloid-level sources), but nothing about subject to base a BLP on. The article has never contained good, non-promotional sourcing up to the standards of BLP. If this were cut down to RSes, it would barely exist - David Gerard (talk) 22:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:MILL. Other than a single BBC Radio show, he's never been covered significantly in any reliable source. He's a run of the mill wannabe 'expert'.Bearian (talk) 15:54, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

 * This is not a vote, but a policy-based discussion - on what notability criteria would you say it be kept? - David Gerard (talk) 14:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: there are a lot of references in this article! None of them seem to be very good. The first one is to an article written primarily about him. All of the rest are sourced to WP:SPS except the single blurb in the Telegraph about a television programme (which mentions his leaving it), and the Google Books link is just commenting on that Telegraph article in passing. jp×g 11:19, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Many self-published sources failing WP:SPIP and blogs, failing WP:NOT and. So it seems there is not a single secondary source available. Non-notable.   scope_creep Talk  08:33, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
