When attempting to find sources for this unreferenced BLP I discovered that the subject...exists and really nothing else. I see no legitimate claim to notability in simply being a sports journalist. If he had won awards, written books, or something it would be a different story but unless someone uncovers something that I missed the article should be deleted.

Delete. First thought on seeing this was that he should probably be notable, but the sources don't even come close to showing it at present. Recreate if and when. Alzarian16 (talk) 00:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails notability tests at WP:GNG. Pburka (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
'Comment I tend to agree that he's not notable. On the other hand, I don't see any evidence that there was a PROD that someone removed, or that the article's creator, User:Marks87, was made aware that this was nominated for deletion. Hence, I'm not sure that one can make a fair ruling on this. Mandsford 23:10, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
