non-notable academic and political activist. Only claim to notability is being a Green Party of England and Wales principle speaker. This is not a notable office in its own right and does not establish notability of the subject in question. Sport and politics (talk) 11:01, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ Comment - (this has potential for a merge) to Green Party of England and Wales, which presently does not mention the subject. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. ~~Note that Berreen does not appear to have ever been Principal Speaker. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)~~ Oh yes, he was, but only as one of six. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:16, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The subject of the article is listed in the Green Party of England and Wales navigation box as having been so. By the fact that it is not even mentioned on the subject matters page shows the low level of notability that post holds, if any real notability at all.

Delete -- Unless someone can show that he undertook significnat published research so as to qualify him as a notable academic, I do not think we can keep this article. Since the party did not win any major election until 1999, being one of six Principal Speakers prior to the number being reduced to two in 1992 hardly makes him notable. Possibly merge one sentence to the relevant section of that article. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
