Biography of non-notable person. The article claims that he has won four Emmy awards but http://www.emmyonline.com/newsemmy does not mention his name anywhere that I can find; perhaps he was part of the crew for some stories that won Emmys but if so, his name is not mentioned. The sources are either primary sources, user-edited websites, or trivial mentions. Note that the article is pretty much a verbatim copy of his imdb bio. bonadea contributions talk 17:23, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for the same reasons stated by bonadea contributions talk. Several of the references simply include copies of tweets by the subject in articles that are about something else. I read the source that is in Italian, and it is a routine mention (one sentence). The Italian source appears to be a multi-author blog (the contributors are unpaid).

Keep He is a 4 time emmy award winner and a famous TV reporter and Actor . Why cant the page be live ? Alwayssmileguys (talk) 18:33, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When did he win those Emmys and where is a reliable source (not IMDb or any user edited website) that confirms it? It's not very difficult to find that kind of confirmation, usually, but this time I've failed. As for "famous", that's a subjective statement - and again, genuinely famous people usually have sources that write about them. --bonadea contributions talk 15:16, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now and draft and userfy if needed as I simply see no obvious better improvement in that he has better coverage. SwisterTwister talk 05:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm guessing those Emmy awards are regional Emmys - as I found this cite: here. While not the same weight as primetime or daytime Emmys, they probably hold the same weight as the Latin Grammys do to the Grammys. The article is very poorly written.

Disagree with you on that. Latin Grammys are a national award and have same procedure as regular ones. Regional Emmys are made up of 20 different awards that are not competed nationally. It's specifically not a national award, which makes it less notable. FuriouslySerene (talk) 19:02, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The Emmys are regional Emmys, so they don't establish notability. The sources provided are trivial or non-reliable. Notability hasn't been established. FuriouslySerene (talk) 18:59, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
