Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a media personality who may or may not actually be the subject of enough media coverage to actually get past WP:GNG — as always with media figures, the mere fact that he is on TV is not sufficient to justify an article that doesn't actually cite proper sources. One problem that hits this particular person on a regular basis is the frequent addition of unsourced nicknames, of both the flattering and unflattering varieties ("Baller", "Captain Canada", etc.) — and while the article has been tagged for both notability and lack of referencing for several months without improvement, there's also an emerging issue with anonymous IPs removing the maintenance tags without actually performing any of the necessary maintenance. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if actual sourcing can be added — and this nomination represents no prejudice against a future version of the article that does cite proper sources — but a BLP is not entitled to keep an unsourced article just because he exists. Delete if the article is still in its current state by close. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
