The eferences for the notability of this local radio announcer are essentially press releases; the award too is only local. DGG ( talk ) 19:01, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The references given for the notability reference newspapers, the site of the WAAMI awards - the local radio announcer is local and therefore wins (numerous) local awards and even presents at them - would the same not be considered true of a New York City award-winning radio announcer? With all due respect, is there a problem with the state of Western Australia awarding their own broadcasting awards to their own presenters and local broadcast award-winners being recognised? tokenskeptic ( talk ) 19:33 29 September 2014 (UTC)

how far down would you carry this? I think its well established that awards at less than the national level do not generally count for notability. (And yes, I'd apply this in NYC also, unless the announcer is carried on a major network outside the city.) DGG ( talk ) 15:18, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
