Delete - lack of notability, fails wp:GNG for lack of coverage in reliable publications not directly related to the topic. Chris (talk) 23:11, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable reporter for a local news station. Local news reporters are almost never notable. --Madison-chan (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking in-depth coverage by independent third party sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 05:40, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no news coverage of the subject but as he's a reporter, this is very common. If this were a larger market, I may be inclined to reassess my !vote but I can't see how even an WP:IAR argument can be made for a Keep. I really wish there was a better way to assess the notability of reporters and news sources themselves. OlYeller21^Talktome 15:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
