Coverage is all constrained to a few week span (implying all derivative of the same coverage, presumably The Telegraph article). See for instance North and South, by the same author. Not indicative of long term notability. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom and my search for sources; the limited coverage appears to be interview-based, and otherwise churned as tabloid/sensationalism in low-quality sources and blogs. WP:NOTNEWS seem to further support deletion at this time; enduring notability does not seem supported by independent, reliable, secondary sources. Beccaynr (talk) 21:19, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The front page of the Telegraph Magazine is a reputable source which includes fact checking as part of the process. 86.22.29.36 (talk) 12:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Most coverage seems to be culture war stuff from GB News and the Telegraph, all around the time of the original story. Fails WP:BLP1E: "Reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.

The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual....Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view." AusLondonder (talk) 22:31, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This case can be compared to that of David Reimer in the USA, which is still discussed 20 years after his death. 86.22.29.36 (talk) 12:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a BLP disaster of a marginally notable person, with scant coverage. Bearian (talk) 15:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
