Notability of the individual is questionable, and as I've noted before his article is written like a resume. PlateOfToast (talk) 02:07, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Probably passes AUTHOR, a few book reviews found [1], [2], [3], but the sourcing used now in the article isn't helpful. Oaktree b (talk) 02:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

- Keep quite a well known figure, has been a guest on Question Time (TV programme) for example and I think he meets the WP:JOURNALIST criteria of being an 'important figure' as his career changes have been reported on independently.[4]. Agree the article reads like a resume though, needs work. Orange sticker (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong keep WP:SIGCOV is present, notable as per WP:JOURNALIST criterium 1 Vorann Gencov (talk) 06:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
