I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this BLP about a journalist, and have not found secondary sources to add. The existing references are mostly records of his journalism. He has won an award, but I don't think it is notable. He has been shortlisted for other awards, which you can see in this earlier version of the article. He has also set a world record for generating energy by pedalling, but I don't think this makes him notable - the only relevant discussion I could find is at Notability of Guinness World Record holders, where the two editors in the discussion agreed that breaking a world record doesn't make someone notable. I cannot see that he meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:JOURNALIST. Tacyarg (talk) 19:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: no good sources, and a search for more online is difficult; this is a surprisingly common name (I once had a professor who had the same name, spelled differently). Bearian (talk) 04:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
