The result was delete. Seems like the consensus indicates that references provided in the article don't contain enough to establish notability. Also WP:FRANKENSTEIN concerns exist. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:08, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted in 2007 however it would imaginably not be the same as now thus renominating, my searches are not finding anything actually substantial and the article itself also mirrors this. SwisterTwister talk 04:23, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no strong feelings on this one, but looking at the old AfD and the current text, I'm uncertain they're even for the same person. Jclemens (talk) 04:44, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There do seem to be at least 2 journalists conflated here, one has recently retired from a career as a news anchor in upstate New York [1]. The other appears to be a mid-career journalist at CNBC [2] I have no idea who the journalist in that old AFD was, but searching news archives on this name is tough, it's an extremely common name, there's a prominent Canadian attorney, a guy whose house got hit by a flood in Flroida, another who gets picked up for drunk-and-disorderly, a high school track star, and multiple respectable men in Ireland. There is also, however, an internet newscaster, here's a 2003 news story on him"Salem Communications announced the relocation of Kevin McCullough from WYLL AM1160 in Chicago to be on air in New York, Monday through Friday... WMCA 570AM... The mission of "Kevin McCullough Live from New York" is to be a daily intersection of news and current events through the dialogue of faith, conscience, and country. Along with being a radio talk show host, Kevin McCullough is a syndicated columnist, and is a past recipient of the Tesla and Marconi Awards." There's more, but I was using a password protected archive (Proquest) Thing is, this article seems to have conflated the first 2 journalists. This is going to require more time than I have right now.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - None of what's been listed is actually convincing for his own convincing and notable article. SwisterTwister talk 06:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I still don't see sources suggesting individual notability. Yes, the subject is an anchor for a TV channel, but many are and thus he is not necessarily worthy of note. Both the sources and the content in the article are not substantial to sustain an encyclopedia entry. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:36, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
