Delete writer for a local newspaper is insufficient criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. I could not establish notability through independent sources. I did what I could to cleanup the article to meet guidelines. Much of the article is information that fails WP:BLP. -Verdatum (talk) 17:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly fails WP:AUTH (which applies to journalists). As a sports reporter for a newspaper with a circulation of about 70,000, I do not consider he is notable in any sense. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
