Non-notable. Article has plenty of sources, non of which are strictly about the subject. They may mention him in passing, but notability requires significant coverage from multiple third-party reliable sources. One award is named in the article - from a local brewery.

  • Keep As notable as any other regular broadcaster anywhere else in the world, and given that he is a presenter, theatre director and actor, probably more notable than most. Meridian Tonight is a daily news programme, not some trivial occasional broadcast. Incidentally, the brewery may be described as "Kent-based", but its beer is available all over the UK (thank goodness - I don't live in Kent!) and it is, I believe, England's oldest brewery, so hardly a trivial outfit. Sources may be insufficient, but that is merely and indication that that the article should tagged for better references.Emeraude (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • comment: broadcasts across 2 counties, and is theatre director in a little seaside town ... --Paularblaster (talk) 20:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment on comment Two big and populous counties though. Directed production of Head Games at Edinburgh Festival, transferred to Oval House Theatre, London. Writer of play Up4ameet. Appeared as Buttons in Cinderella, reviewed in The Stage, 13/12/05. Seems infinitely more notable than the majority of local broadcasters that have articles in Wikipedia, particularly those in the US who are only known in a single town.

Reply to comments: Per wikipedia notability policy, it doesn't matter how well known he is. Without "significant coverage in multiple reliable third-party sources", he's not notable. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
True. Here's a few for starters: Edinburgh Festival Guide 2002 and 2003, Review on Indie London, BBC News, The Stage Emeraude (talk) 12:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
None of those are significant coverage, and none of them are about him - they're about his plays. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
