Unsourced autobiographical article about a radio presenter, with minute unencyclopedic details of "controversial records" played and "radio games". Digital Spy Poster 16:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with NE1 FM and remove unnecessary details of games etc Digital Spy Poster 16:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Most likely a request from friends/family of Ryan Dunlop (if not Ryan directly). Clearly related to the Hitz Radio disputes where it is clear to see Hitz Radio UK do not like the public attention. It should be noted that sockpuppets etc... should be investigated fully before deletion of any articles or deletion requests from Digital Spy Poster. One can most likely safely assume Digital Spy Poster has only raised deletion requests for articles linking to/from the Hitz Radio UK article. Kev Akas 23:30, 7 June 2007 (GMT)

• PROCEDURAL ERROR. There is no AfD banner on the article itself! I suggest that the nominator, Digital Spy Poster, should place the banner and then leave a request here that the debate be extended for another five days. EdJohnston 05:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete. Lacks reliable sources. Without them, it is difficult to know if this presenter is notable. This article has a somewhat promotional tone, which I know could be fixed by rewriting. I don't believe this is an autobiography since the article was created by a widely experienced editor. The great profusion of unsourced info is a concern; you would imagine that an experienced editor would avoid doing that. Removal of all the unsourced info would leave only a tiny stub. I would consider changing my vote if references could be added before the close of the AfD. EdJohnston 18:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
