Delete: And, in fact, I am happy to discuss the sourcing. It's crap. Of the eight sources cited in the article, the last is an article he wrote for the Springfield Republican (ironically enough, to which I was a subscriber) about the local hockey team (ironically enough, to which I was a season ticket holder) getting beaten; what that is is a byline, nothing more, and establishes nothing save that the subject was a sportswriter for the newspaper. The first source does not mention his name at all. Every other source in the article is a broken link, including the blog posts. There's nothing by way of substantial coverage in reliable sources about the subject. Ravenswing 09:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
