Fails WP:BIO. Also possible COI issue (per main contributor's user name JamesMatthews01). Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:12, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• Redirect to British Sports Journalism Awards winners for Young Sports Writer, literally the only claim to any sort of fame. (An article of dubious standalone notability itself too.) See also Adam Crafton - David Gerard (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• Keep Sharing of surnames is purely coincidental. In any case, even though this chap might only have received one award, it is not insignificant: the SJA awards are the closest thing to a Pulitzer/George Polk for sports journalism in the UK. Perhaps the only award series which prompts scores of entries from all national newspapers. Winning an award at the SJAs is considered the gold standard in the industry. Thus contend that both the bio page and the awards page are notable enough, even if only for a stub class article. JamesMatthews01 (talk)
• Delete Fails WP:BASIC. The award isn't sufficient on its own to overcome the lack of coverage in reliable sources.--Pontificalibus 06:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:TOOSOON, subject to re-creation when and if he becomes notable. This is a classic cases of WP:UPANDCOMING; his award was for Young sports writer. Bearian (talk) 22:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
