Deletion[edit]

I am against the deletion of this page. I have added a lot more information about Abeer. Although she's now maybe left BBC Scotland ( or at least moved from BBC Radio Scotland), she has worked on other projects.

I'm not convinced she's left BBC, she's maybe moved from Radio Scotland, but she could still be working for them. (MacSteaphain (talk) 08:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I can assure you that she has left BBC Scotland as I work there! I appreciate you've added lots of information about her, but Wikipedia should only carry notable people — and without a public profile I do not believe that conforms with Wikipedia's criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.130.134 (talk) 23:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name Spelling[edit]

Macintyre is spelled entirely in lower case (except the initial M); ideally both the spellings would redirect to this page, at present the correct spelling does not. The same holds true for husband Kenny Macintyre. AbeerMacintyre (talk) 12:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorted. --John (talk) 10:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beacon Radio?[edit]

Is this the same Abeer Macintyre who presented on Beacon Radio some time. According to the Free Radio Shropshire & Black Country article, there was an Abeer Macintyre who presented there sometime, but I want confirmation and a source before I add it to this article and link the name on the Free Radio page to here. Thanks, 82.35.205.136 (talk) 18:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
