- Keep - a clear decision for as influential a journalist as Hepworth. His impact on the music industry of the 1980s was sizeable, and his Wikipedia page has nearly 100 links to it. A lack of sources is primarily due to his peak period being at a time prior to the internet. Smb1001 (talk) 11:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep One of the most influential music journalist and media analyists of the last 40 years. Hepworth is a heavyweight and has a commendable and still relevant career. He was instrumental in the foundation of a number of highly popular magazines in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and a driving force behind "Smash Hits" in it's heyday. He presented the BBC broadcast of Live Aid on 13 July 1985, goading Geldof into asking viewers to send them their *fucking money*. That alone. Give the man his respect.
