Removed prod. I see no real evidence of notability here. All of this person's claims to notability appear to be one-off appearances on very minor radio shows; there is no evidence of any sustained notability. DWaterson 11:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete fails my reading of WP:BIO. Eusebeus 11:25, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep notability is borderline, but there are mutliple secondary sources and that's all that's required. However, current article reads like a resume and should be rewritten in encyclopaedic style. Capmango 23:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment. That sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to me and is not clear in the article itself - as far as I can see, this person is a 16 year old school kid who has appeared on a few radio programmes and in a couple of local magazines. Could you substantiate your claims in a bit more specific detail, with reference to reliable sources which give non-trivial coverage, moreso than the brief trivial references in the current sources?

  • delete Wikipedia is not a newspaper, 15 minutes of fame does not make you notable unless it is a hell of a bright 15 minutes. Furthermore, I'm not at all convinced he even meets WP:BIO. JoshuaZ 17:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
