Prod (notability) deleted without improvement to article. Autobiography (initially) of a radio presenter who probably has a daily audience of less than 1000. Searching shows numerous passing references (and that his photos of earthquake damage were published) but nothing significant or neutral in a reliable source. dramatic (talk) 18:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't seem particularly notable. Possible COI given creators login! DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 19:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as winning a national award for broadcasters suggests subject is notable. Potential COI is a matter for tagging, not AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 19:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are (probably) national awards for accountants too. Winning one doesn't confer notability unless it results in some decent coverage in a good source - which it doesn't appear to in this case. Note too, that this is a "pay to enter" award. The award is documented at Plains FM, which is sufficient (and note that we don't have articles for the other nine award-winners from this very small radio station*). * Plains FM is one of 31 radio stations in a city of 360,000 people and is one of 15 stations sharing the 6.7% market share for "other". [1] (National radio and concert FM excluded from both ratings survey and my count of stations). dramatic (talk) 00:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As results form the log, prod was contested after deletion and procedurally restored by me.--Tikiwont (talk) 19:51, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep sorry, history did not show that the article had been deleted. I diffed the two entries labelled prod and restored. dramatic (talk) 09:38, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not very notable. No news coverage (Google News Search ) --Edward130603 (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
