The result was merge to Blue Peter. The additional sources mentioned by Bobby987 unfortunately do not appear to support the subject's notability, as they either do not qualify as reliable under Wikipedia's definition, or they are connected somehow with the subject. I have exluded the "retain" argument for this reason. After this argument has been exluded, there appears to be a rough consensus to merge. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 11:00, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TV producer, was a BLPPROD but now has some sources, doesn't look massively notable still though. Black Kite (talk) 06:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Merge into Blue Peter. A brief there is better than a complete deletion. If more notable info, awards and recognition comes up in the future, then another article can be written on him. Jrcrin001 (talk) 07:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At least Merge to Blue Peter; Leger is probably as close to famous as a TV producer - how behind-the-scenes is that? - can reasonably get, with an incredibly long service on an extremely well-known program. However, putting my Wikipedian hat on, while there are sources including the book on Blue Peter, notability remains borderline. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Retain as separate article. As the creator of this page I've now added extra references as per Wiki policy. I'd respectfully suggest Leger is notable given BP is an incredibly well-known TV programme and he was absolutely key, albeit admittedly not on screen, to many of its most famous reports/events. He drove the agenda and chased the stories that BP was once famous for. I will try and find some more sources to back this up, but hope interest in all aspects of BP, including how it was made and by who, will be taken into account. Thanks.
