The result was delete. Not a plausible redirect target, in my opinion, and there are multiple Dan Roans vying for this spot. A dab page might be necessary. ‑Scottywong | babble _ 16:08, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:CREATIVE. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 03:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect either to WGN Sports or WGN-TV (the WGN Sports article needs major help though, I admit). Not employed anywhere else but WGN. Nate • (chatter) 08:23, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you mean "delete or redirect"? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:54, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I slipped up a bit. I meant to have it moved to Dan Roan (broadcaster) if the redirect action is taken to meet MOS. Nate • (chatter) 03:51, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete I feel that by his position, he should be notable, but I can not find any sources.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:13, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I express no opinion on this article due to lack of knowledge about the organisations he has worked for and available sourcing. But if this is deleted, please could Dan Roan (journalist) be moved to this article title? —WFC— 02:31, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to WGN Sports or WGN-TV. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A merge would create undue balance and a redirect would be a sort of "false advertising" if there is no content in the target article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:55, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected - Yea, so I was a bold and redirected the article. There really was no content to merge. He's a sports director and it already says that on the target page. smooth0⁷0₇ (talk) 14:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
