I haven't been able to find evidence of him meeting WP:GNG, and his contributions to notable media have been rather small, so I don't believe he meets WP:ENTERTAINER either. Suntooooth, it/he ( talk/ contribs) 20:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

[2]. This story helps
[3] and the one in the article should be enough.

- I'm not convinced [3] or the Scotsman article cited show notability though, he's barely mentioned in them. That just leaves the Daily Record for significant coverage in my opinion. Suntooooth, it/he ( talk/ contribs) 20:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Not enough references at this time, unlikely they can be obtained to achieve WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:GNG notability thresholds. Royal Autumn Crest ( talk) 21:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. A fairly well-known figure, it surprised me to see the stub so brief and under-sourced. Not now, thanks to User:Drchriswilliams. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 12:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep quite clearly meets "
The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions
" criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER and also "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work
" in WP:CREATIVE. I'd say he's an instantly recognisable face in the UK having been a lead in a number of well known shows. Orange sticker ( talk) 12:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC) - Keep per WP:HEY, thanks to the work of Drchriswilliams. Hunter has had major roles, both performing and producing, in multiple notable productions. Toughpigs ( talk) 14:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. As per
Mutt Lunker,
Orange sticker and
Toughpigs. I think this person and their works are well known in the UK. As well as being part of a team that created a cult classic in the form of
Absolutely (TV series), he has created radio sitcoms, comedy for children, appeared on multiple television programmes and on the big screen. At the point of nomination for deletion the article was a stub of just 100 words and had just three references- a book, and two links that were more than ten years old, to pages that had moved or been removed. The references now attached to the article show coverage of this person and their work in a range of different titles.

- Even as the nominator, I agree - this is definitely a WP:HEY situation, as Toughpigs said. The sources I could find weren't enough, and people found better sources :P Suntooooth, it/he ( talk/ contribs) 16:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
