The subject of this article is, for lack of a better expression, "just some guy". He was a journalist with nothing about him that fits Wikipedia's notability standards for a biography. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• Comment, while the Welsh wiki does have a little more information on him, it still does not seem to satisfy notability criteria, being mostly trivia related prose. It seems the "Allen" part may have not been part of his actual name, but searching "Evan Owen" is also too vague to easily get precise results. Neither article suggests this person gained sufficient notability and while I'd lean delete, I can't rule out some sources cropping up to refute that.

• Strong keep. He has an article in his country's national biographical dictionary, which meets WP:ANYBIO, so "nothing about him that fits Wikipedia's notability standards for a biography" is not quite exact, to say the least. Atchom (talk) 00:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:ANYBIO. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. Sources from this time period are harder to come by, but his inclusion in the book Eminent Welshmen and the Dictionary of Welsh Biography is sufficient evidence of notability.--Mojo Hand (talk) 23:23, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
