Adam Savage (British)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a television presenter, which does little more than assert that he exists and cites no reliable source coverage at all to make his existence noteworthy. As always, a television personality is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- RS coverage, supporting a notability claim that would satisfy WP:CREATIVE, must be present to support it. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Richardson (presenter), a colleague of Savage's who was deleted a few weeks ago for also being completely unsourced and unsourceable. Delete.

Keep - He is notable for working for multiple companies such as Ginx TV and Disney. He is notable, probably more so than your example, as he presents Planet of the Apps as well as The First Hour. It was also recently announced that he will be presenting the arcade portion of The Gadget Show Live. Feel free to add content to the page but don't delete it.

Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are not passed by asserting that they're passed. They're passed by reliably sourcing that they're passed, and no claim of notability, not even "president of the entire world", confers an exemption from having to meet WP:GNG on the sourcing.

Thing is, a media person will naturally feature in a lot of websites, that's their job. What's needed is evidence that they're notable in that people have written articles about them. Plenty of writers at content farms probably write ten articles a day or more. That doesn't make them notable. Blythwood (talk) 22:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - meets none of the standards of WP:CREATIVE as having worked for a number of different television brands is not in itself an indication of notability. There is nothing when searching for "Adam Savage" and "The First Hour". Even if the tv shows mentioned above are notable, the presenter mentioned here clearly is not.
