Inadequate evidence of notability. Only one of the references cited is currently accessible, and that one has no "significant discussion". Maproom (talk) 13:43, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it stands, no evidence of prima facie passing notability and no good sources for this BLP - David Gerard (talk) 14:54, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: this is an interesting one because Easter does have some real form as a writer and an impressive CV. He was the main writer for Steve Wright's radio shows for more than a decade, coming up with most of the comedy characters on the award-winning Steve Wright in the Afternoon show on BBC Radio 1 and then later on when Wright moved to Radio 2. He then moved into TV scripts: he was Chris Tarrant's original scriptwriter for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? when it began in 1998, and went on to write for You've Been Framed!, The Voice UK and many other mainstream light entertainment shows on primetime TV in the UK. All of which makes it quite surprising that we are struggling to find independent sources for an article on him, because he certainly isn't a nobody.

- A lot of people you'd think should be article worthy, it turns out we couldn't have an article unless we did the OR for it - David Gerard (talk) 00:13, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
