Afternoon Radio presenter of limited note - The subject is clearly very very upset about the articles existence and has been complaining for quite some time now, he is posting about it on twitter and has posted one I read in which he comments how our articles existence has detrimentally affected his health - ( I won't post diffs here but they are available at the WP:BLPN thread.) - imo and for the benefit of the subject and the very limited loss the biography would be to the projects mission - we can and should delete this article. - Youreallycan 21:38, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - The article is compliant to WP:BLP. Subject has been a presenter on a BBC Radio 4 programme (i.e. a national station, not merely a local station), and has won a major award. Notability, once attained, does not diminish. This is a control issue more than anything. Because the subject of the article cannot control what is in it, he wants it deleted. Misplaced Pages does not allow subject of articles to say whether or not they get an article (q.v. Sally Boazman). The subject does not want his actual d.o.b. in the article, despite the fact that he freely gives this info out every year when his birthday comes round. Misplaced Pages has granted him this concession, and his d.o.b. is not mentioned, only the year. I appreciate that one editor in particular wants this info in the article, but I'd advise that editor to drop the WP:STICK over this issue. Mjroots (talk) 21:56, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
