Fails WP:GNG: This is an amazingly promotional article. The references include defunct gossip blogs, his own websites and (presumably) social media accounts, and even a letter to the editor of the student paper at his university. I looked for additional sources and didn't find anything useful.

I wouldn't expect that his nightlife personality award nominations and win count towards ANYBIO, since the awards are not well-known or significant (and I know the HX one is allegedly rigged/given to whoever buys more advertising in their magazine). I couldn't find him on IMDb, and I don't think that the roles described in this article make him a notable actor. Cheers, gnu 57 23:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. You beat me to this. I was planning on nominating this myself. A BEFORE yielded nothing besides (mostly defunct) gossip blogs and social media. Completely not notable. --Kbabej (talk) 00:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete When your listed "accomplishments" include reporting on 9/11 and being the first to cover Anna Nicole Smith's death...yeah, no. Article is one big pat on the back and awards are non-notable. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 17:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
