Speedy deletion declined, but this is an unsourced BLP about an auctioneer and antiques expert that has made occasional appearances (often not more than a few minutes) in a variety of BBC antiques TV programmes. I can't find any actual news coverage or independent reliable sources about her. If the unsourced biographical and family info was removed, there would be little left of any substance. Fails WP:GNG.

  • Delete - no reliable sources to establish notability. CookieMonster755 (talk) 04:44, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - sources are not independent. Notability not indicated.--Rpclod (talk) 05:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe redirect to one of the TV shows - A News search found a few links, Books found nothing and a browser search found links her BBC bio. Rather than deleting, I think a redirect to one of the TV shows, maybe Flog It (seems maybe she's received a little more attention for that one)? SwisterTwister talk 05:40, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure a redirect to a TV show is the best idea, since there is an article on Kate Josephine Bateman. Perhaps Kate Bateman should just not be a link, or be changed back into the redirect to Kate Josephine Bateman that it started as. It won't need disambiguation if it doesn't remain an article. - Nunh-huh 19:54, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
