Tagged for peacock for 10 years, but IMHO the more serious issue is that he fails WP:NBIO. BEFORE gets a ton of hits (still active journalists) but no in-depth coverage. He won a few awards but they seem minor (none is notable on its own and they are not referenced). In the end, he seems just like someone doing their job, but not encyclopedic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are several in-depth sources for an event of several years that this person had a pivotal rôle in, but I haven't found much in the way of an actual biography covering this person's life and works in general; and the person's rôle is already mentioned, albeit cursorily, in other articles. So too is this person's job, in the article on the radio show — ironically sourced to the radio show's own WWW site here in this article. There are no good biographical sources at all cited in the article. Uncle G (talk) 02:22, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete it has been here, virtually unsourced and tagged refimprove since 2008, and in all those years no one has added anything resembling WP:SIGCOV. He was involved in a minor dust-up of some kind at the radio station he worked for back in 1999 that appears to have drawn a bit of attention. His name is very common, so we could be missing something, I suppose. But I found nothing like a profile of INDEPTH analysis of his work, or a major story where his work was written up by other news outlets. Fails WP:BASIC. fails WP:CREATIVE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:19, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
