Delete. WP:BLP of a single-market local radio DJ with no strong claim of notability and no reliable source coverage to support it. The sourcing here is primarily to the station's own primary source content about itself, with only other sources being a crowdfunding campaign, a set of photographs on a blog with very little text to contextualize them, and two news articles (one in a good newspaper and one in a pennysaver) that just namecheck this guy's existence in the process of failing to be about him. Plus all of the references are just contextlessly linkfarmed at the bottom, without actually footnoting any of the article's content...which is not a surprise, because none of them support any of the article's content beyond "Gotts exists". This is not how a local radio DJ gets over the Wikipedia inclusion bar. Bearcat (talk) 07:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article doesn't make a strong case of notability, nor do the sources in the article. A Google search didn't turn up anything that would tilt this case towards justifying notability. Alansohn (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, y'all. Just learned of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel "Gotts" chalkford, which pertained to a virtually identical article about the same person. Withdrawing and speedying. Bearcat (talk) 00:47, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
