Comment the claim that he was Billboard Magazine's adult alternative DJ of the year could make him notable, I just can't find any sources to verify it. ~DC _{Talk To Me} 10:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Annual awards, let alone any format's "DJ of the year" awards, let alone their significance, are not mentioned in Billboard Magazine, FWIW.

Del. I reiterate what i said in ProD'g it:
Appears terminally non-notable. More content has been removed than added since the originator's edits 2 years ago, the substantive additions are one unsourced sentence each from two one-day IP contributors in suburbs of St. Louis, and there's still not a proper lead sentence.

Since then, a single IP editor has added abt 330 bytes (disregarding the since deleted "ref" to a WP clone!) consisting of 3 refs. Of them,

says "The free-agent fallout from BONNEVILLE Rhythmic AC WMVN (MOViN 101.1)/ST. LOUIS' future flip to Sports on JANUARY 1st continues. Morning-teamer STEPH DURAN and afternoon personality ERIC SCHMIDT have left the building." Period.
makes no mention of him.
verifies his (non-notable) current job with name, phone, address, & e-mail lk.

They were added by a new IP, from the same pop'n-4,373 town as one of the previous 2, who edited their 1st 2 articles in the 24 hrs after my ProD, but was absent until performing 9 edits to the nom'd article in an hour, finishing 6 days, 23 hours, 56 minutes after my ProD edit.

Keep Notable as shown on the allaccess link for being in St. Louis as claimed. Also listed on the former personalities list on KTBZ page. The #2 reference does reference the change made at the radio station and adds to verification for #1 teatmouse•talk 22:49 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- I did not mean to suggest that inclusion of a reference that verifies nothing about the topic was reason for deletion. I reiterate that we have no verification of a potentially notable occupation beyond "[former] afternoon personality ERIC SCHMIDT", no verification of anything in 5 of the 7 sentences, and nothing suggesting notability beyond one colleagues' opinion (above) that an apparently unverifiable [emphasis added by Jerzy] "claim ... could make him notable". No verifiable info supporting notability, and too little verifiable info to write a meaningful stub; either alone would be sufficient for deletion.
