Past/Notable Presenters (Edit war)

edit

I have made a few reverts to the article as a result of edits by user 'UK Wiki User'. The edits by said user have deleted a list of names within the article, leaving just one name 'Jonathan Miles (now with BBC Radio Newcastle)'. I do not know if 'UK Wiki User' and 'Jonathan Miles' are the same person. I think the edits need considerable justification as it looks like self promotion to me.

Notwithstanding the above, I have long felt that the list of names is excessive (I did not create the list), but I was reluctant to delete it as it may have some value. Davidbstanley (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I’m not Jonathan Miles, but I’m pleased you agree that the list is too much. Previous articles have had presenter lists removed due to the lack of notability. If you/I/we can create articles for presenters listed (if any of them have relevant and sufficient articles) we can add them to the list? UK Wiki User (talk) 21:34, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
I think it would be better to keep at least some of the names that moved on to other stations, even if they have no specific article. I am thinking the likes of Simon Beale, Jenny Costello and probably a few others.Davidbstanley (talk) 21:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Leave it with me and I'll sort out over the coming days when I have some free time. If you can source anything and create the article then we're onto a winner. Regarding Jonathan Miles, I have created a deletion discussion. See here. There appears to be nothing notable about this person, with very little to go by when searching fro sources. UK Wiki User (talk) 21:49, 17 April 2019 (UTC) - NB. One time BBC NE presenter Jonathan Miles provided the vox over the original "103.8" jingle beds. Colinc1000 (talk) 00:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
One that is notable and that has a page is Roger Day.Davidbstanley (talk) 21:55, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
As does Keir Simmons. I'll work thorugh it. UK Wiki User (talk) 21:58, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dickie Davis (not that one) and Greg Whelan were RTM Radio sports presenters (Getting on for 30 years with Sky Sport) get a mention here Sky Sports.

Simon Beale (Currently overnights on Heart Network) should be on Hearts Wikipedia page as a main presenter and should be included here.
Added Mr Beale again 27th July 2024.Colinc1000 (talk) 00:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
As should John Kennedy, long term incumbent of (XFM) / Radio X (has a mention in their Wikipedia page). Radio X (United Kingdom)
These are the only notable one time RTM Radio presenters that currently have a major presence that I know about. Colinc1000 (talk) 03:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
