Delete non notable individual who clearly does not meet WP:BIO. Unencyclopedic entry. Strothra 00:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep & Cleanup 280 unique google hits [1] and I believe this does satisfy WP:BIO Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. I believe the regularly broadcast Washington Wizards game is a well-known television production. --Crossmr 01:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not assert notability in its current form and is clearly unencyclopedic in style. From his bio on http://midatlantic.comcastsportsnet.com/Talent.asp it doesn't look like he actually "appears" in the television production (the Wizards games) but rather is a sportscaster on the Comcast network who is assigned to do play-by-play for the Wizards games. Would need complete rewrite to establish notability clearly and concisely, but from what I've seen he does not fit the notability criteria. Locke777 03:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As a sportscaster for a major network, who has won 2 awards and is a spokesperson for a charity event associated with the PGA, I think that does establish the notability. The article obviously does need major cleanup, but he himself does have the notability there. Even if his face isn't on air, his voice is for all those games. Mel Blanc never had his face in an episode of Loony Tunes. --Crossmr 03:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per both comments above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've revised my vote a bit. I feel he's notable, but the article requires serious clean up to make it more useful--Crossmr 16:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: "Unique" google hits are neither a measure of notability nor non-notability. Thanks. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 18:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not a measure, part of a test. --Crossmr 20:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The method used to calculate "unique" Google hits makes the numbers mostly irrelevant 90% of the time to 90% of the people discussing 90% of AfD's. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 20:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hahaha I like that. --Strothra 01:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup. Meets WP:BIO. Mango juice^talk 20:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. He appears to be at least regionally notable, and I'd say that's good enough for me. Luna Santin 19:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
