WP:BLP of a fundraiser, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria. Apart from stating that he exists, the only other attempt at a notability claim here is notable relatives -- but notability is not inherited, so just being related to famous people isn't enough in and of itself. The only sourcing present here, however, is a staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer, which is not a notability-making source.
As I don't have solid access to archived British media coverage beyond what I could find in a simple Google search, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to such resources can find enough to salvage it -- but all I get on Google is more primary sources that aren't support for notability, and nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more than just primary sources.

- Comment, tricky one. We might be able to find WP:BASIC, but I suspect a lot of it will be in offline sources. I'm not sure what the best ATD is right now. Currently has a brief mention at Epistle to a Godson. Could have a mention at Index on Censorship where he's verifiably known to have worked for several years including as director and publisher [1][2][3][4] (some of those are not independent)
Most other mentions I'm finding right now are pretty trivial. There are a couple sentences of independent coverage here [5], but we'd need a lot more. —siroχo 05:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
