Non Notable Person. A virtual unknown presenter, which results in an empty article page. The Dinkle 05:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. One of a large number of presenters on a little-watched satellite TV quiz channel. Not notable. Sam Blacketer 13:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to The Great Big British Quiz. Not notable, and little scope for expansion. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 16:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Can not support AfD from new user, who should not be involved in or proposing AfD until experience is gained. Go contribute for a while then judge the work of others. --Kevin Murray 18:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. There are less than 1000 nonwiki Google hits of him, and he has received no independent press coverage. I will also respond to Kevin Murray's claim that a new user should not nominate articles for AfD. It's inappropriate to say that here. What it is okay to do is politely explain the workings of AfD on the user's talk page if the nomination itself is wrongheaded. In this case, regardless of the result of the discussion, the nomination was entirely appropriate. YechielMan 19:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Can't agree with you. There is a danger here of AfD being bloated by articles that should have been prodded or left alone. There is little good that can come from encouraging novices to jump in as gnomes, before understanding the system. --Kevin Murray 21:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Does not meet WP:BIO. Nomination was appropriate. Agent 86 20:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, while I tend to agree that AfD nominations are easier to accept by seasoned editors in this case I must agree, no references, no sources therefore conflict with WP:V Alf photoman 01:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Non-notable as per nom.Veronica Mars fanatic 14:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• keep but also noted that nominator has created an article about one presenter on The Great Big British Quiz and has now nominated all articles about other presenters on this channel for deletion.Hotmann 07:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - A presenter on a national Sky Digital show is notable. Per WP:BIO: "Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions." The Great Big British Quiz is a very well-known show in Britain. And, like Hotmann, I'm very troubled that the nom created an article on another Great Big British Quiz host, Carryl Varley, and then nominated most other current hosts for AfD. --Oakshade 07:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Carryl Varley article was done mostly for her previous role as a british singer in the 90's. It's been through AfD, and kept strangely enough. The Dinkle 00:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge - Subsume this and all The Great Big British Quiz presenter's pages into the show's page. A1octopus 10:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• delete small presenter on a small channel. Not really worthy. DannyDoodles 00:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability is not a problem, and this is not unverifiable, it merely lacks any effort being put into it. Also, I understand where Kevin Murray was coming from; while this nomination is appropriate, it is very curious to say the least. Also, nobody bothered to alert User:TVexpert using {{afd-warn}}.
