fails WP:CREATIVE. simply being a radio announcer is not notable enough. Limited coverage as per Google news search. Michellecrisp (talk) 02:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nn per nom. An unremarkable career.--Sting Buzz Me... 03:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: This article details a 22+ year in print journalism as well as the publication of three books written by the subject so he's not "simply" a radio announcer (not that there's anything wrong with that). Article needs sources for verification but subject should not be dismissed purely "per nom" in this case. - Dravecky (talk) 04:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

so are you wanting a keep or delete? Yes he has written books but I can't find evidence of The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.. Michellecrisp (talk) 04:02, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Comment" is simply a reasonable statement of "I'm not sure I want to say either keep or delete". Nyttend (talk) 15:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment/Weak Keep haven't had time to go through these but he appears to be mentioned in several books which may help establish notability. StarM 04:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- Most of those hits are for a different Bruce Eva. The books he co-wrote with the likes of Crackers Keenan (A North Melbourne footballer) etc are not exactly top sellers. Does every niche writer that ever published some minor coffee table book deserve an article here? The guy was just doing a job, and not so well because he was dumped. Or should I say contreversial [sic] sacking. Did he win any awards?--Sting Buzz Me... 04:26, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with above, WP:CREATIVE says the work must be significantly recognised. Simply publishing 3 books does not meet the criteria. Michellecrisp (talk) 04:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, weak and I hadn't had time to go through them. I think you've discounted your own nom statement. He's not "simply... a radio announcer." He did more than that. It still may not add up to notability but it's not as limited as you make it seem in the nom. I do agree that RS coverage of his radio work is a bit lacking. StarM 04:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like in any discussion, new claims of notablity may be found. Yes I subsequently verified that he co-authored some books. Michellecrisp (talk) 05:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
