WP:BLP of a television documentary producer who would probably qualify for a properly sourced article, but the sourcing here doesn't even begin to approach the lower edges of acceptability. (In fact this was initially titled as a list of his documentary credits instead of a BLP of him, but a person has to have a BLP to start with before they're eligible to have a separate list of their credits created as a separate "topic" in its own right independently of a biography of the person — and sticking a biographical sketch directly into the "list of credits" article is not a way around that.) About half of the sources here fail to contain any mention whatosever of his name, merely verifying the existence of documentaries that happen to be included in the list — and even the sources which do mention Jeffcock's name anywhere at all fail to do anything more than mention his name. So not even one source here would get him over WP:GNG, and a Google News search offered up nothing that would improve the sourcing at all (it offers just eight more glancing namechecks in coverage of other things.) As always, a Wikipedia article is not a thing that a television producer automatically gets to have just because you can verify that he exists, or that things he was involved with exist; it's a thing a person earns by being the subject of RS coverage which is substantively about him, but none has been shown here.

Delete for now at best as my searches found a few links here and there and the BAFTA Award for 20th Century Greats would've suggested an acceptable article but there's simply nothing else and, given the current state, there would especially have to be a better article.
