Created by (possibly) someone who may have been the article subject himself or related to this person. Gained notoriety for appearing on The Great British Bake Off (series 3). Sure, he wrote cookbooks, and he reappeared once in a GBBO special, but do they make this person notable outside the series? I doubt that his (non-notable) medical career makes him meet the WP:GNG guideline or makes WP:BLP1E inapplicable. Matter was previously discussed in one past merger discussion and one discussion after merger/redirection was reverted. Regardless of notability, I'm not confident that the standalone article can hold on its own any longer. Should be (re-)redirected to List of The Great British Bake Off finalists (series 1–7)#James Morton, whose content I derived took from the article with some improvements.

Comment. BLP1E is only applicable when all three of its conditions are satisfied:

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.
The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented.

I don't think this subject meets any of these conditions, let alone all three. pburka (talk) 16:54, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about WP:BIO1E then? George Ho (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's an even less restrictive guideline. Which do you consider to be the 1E: his first GBBO, his second GBBO, or his career as an author? pburka (talk) 18:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest not deleting, still an active public person, author of 8 books. Previous reliable sources deleted from article. Simply needs updating. 150.143.105.147 (talk) 16:54, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
