The result was keep. Of note is that the IP !vote for delete doesn't qualify how the subject fails WP:CRIME, and just cites a section of a guideline page. The notion of the subject only being notable for one event (WP:BLP1E) has also been challenged in the discussion. Overall, though, this close is on the "weak keep" side, due to the small number of total participants after two relistings. (Non-administrator closure) NorthAmerica1000 15:05, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Don't know if it's notable. Certainly doesn't seem to be known outside Uk. Checked Hindustan Times, Washington Post and Australian Herald Sun, which have no mention. Don't know what to make of it. Certainly fails WP:GEOSCOPE and seems to pass WP:DIVERSE and WP:BLP1E. Such a weird thing. True humanistic parasite. scope_creep 17:13, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - There's a lot of UK-based articles that aren't known outside of the UK... doesn't mean we should get rid of them, Anyway Keep as passes GNG. –Davey2010 • (talk) 01:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. Meets WP:GNG & WP:BASIC. WP:GEOSCOPE is part of WP:Notability (events), not WP:Notability (people), though in any case this person has received coverage in national media (BBC News, Telegraph, Mirror), not just local. Coverage spans several incidents over at least nine years so WP:BLP1E does not apply. Qwfp (talk) 11:21, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
