Draft:Chris Berrow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The draft doesn't meet WP:ENT.The sources especially about his work at BBC doesn't justify notabikity. The question of notability isn't to be determined by being a gaming commentator or guitarist (since everyone could become one), the question are 1) what notable awards has he/she received?
