Keep. ~~Comment~~: This NZ Herald article gives him one tick for significant coverage in a reliable secondary source, I'd say, although it's odd that it didn't come up in the Google News search results. It's the only source I've found on an initial search of NZ databases, and on its own wouldn't be enough to meet WP:GNG. I'll have another look later and see if I can find anything else substantive.

- Updated to keep. He (just) meets WP:GNG. Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This comes up in .nz sources [1], I think that's good for notability. There are a few NZ Herald articles about this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b: thanks for finding that Timaru Courier article. Could you link any other NZ Herald articles? Aside from the one I mentioned, the only other article I could find was "Comedy for kids proves a Boon", but that reads as an advert to me. Chocmilk03 (talk) 03:20, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was the same one you linked above and the "comedy" one you referenced here, that's all I had. Oaktree b (talk) 03:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've tracked down a few NZ reviews of Boon - theatreview: Ageless storytelling; Silly fun for kids; dry humour for adults; and in Threadnz.com: MR BOON SAVES CHRISTMAS. ResonantDis_tortion 07:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep With two feature articles in newspapers (which are twelve years apart), and a number of secondary reviews of his shows, there should be sufficient to presume notability. I have added the above references to the article. ResonantDis_tortion 22:15, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
