Fails WP:BASIC. Sources currently in the article are not independent. A WP:BEFORE search found this piece in the Guardian. Note that it's a blogpost and therefore insufficiently reliable to establish notability; see WP:RSPSS. Claims of his credits are insufficient to establish notability and unsourced; establishing notability requires verifiable evidence.

This is not relevant to notability, but we should be aware of it during the discussion: The Twitter/X account @lateralcast, which is ostensibly run by Bodycombe, has previously canvassed followers to prevent article deletion of a different article here.
