Biography of a person notable only as producer of a single-market local television newscast, not making or sourcing any strong claim to wider notability. The only real notability claim being attempted here is that the newscast received unspecified and unsourced "national and international awards for its documentaries" -- but that isn't a notability claim if you don't name the awards in question, because not every award that exists is necessarily always an instant notability clincher -- and in reality, the content is much more genealogical, devoting far more time to naming his parents, grandparents, wife and children than it does to saying anything notability-building about his work as a producer. And for sourcing, there's one obituary in a non-notable community hyperlocal, one article in the local newspaper about the newscast, one very short blurb on the website of the local historical society, and a book that's being used to source information about a house his grandparents once lived in rather than any content about Marv. This is not enough sourcing to get him over WP:GNG, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG. Bearcat (talk) 13:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
