Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:BK, WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:BIO, etc. Qworty (talk) 20:28, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have to offer a very weak keep, given that he WAS a major weatherman in New York (the number one TV market in the US). Didn't know about his non-weather interests. Raymie (t • c) 05:03, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

~~Keep~~. What looked like two existing sources (the CBS bio and the New Hampshire recitation contest) in the article are really only one, since one is a close paraphrase of the other. But I added four more full-length articles entirely about him, from two different newspapers and a weekly magazine. It's enough to convince me of a pass of WP:GNG. It's also enough to make me wonder whether the previous participants in this discussion even tried clicking on the "news" link at the top of the AfD, per WP:BEFORE. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:17, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. I've greatly improved the quality of the sourcing; it includes full-length articles about him in the New York Times, New York Post, Cincinnati Magazine, and three local papers, as well as lesser but nontrivial coverage in a book, another NYT article, and IMDB. This seems well more than enough to pass WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
