Career does not appear notable. Most sources are his own columns; a local obit is not proof of notability DGG ( talk ) 08:56, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I created the article. It's a stub, but The Los Angeles Times is a major newspaper...Zigzig20s (talk) 14:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Los Angeles Times is regional, rather than local, and a full obituary therein should be enough to pass WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 16:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A big obituary (looks like 3/4 of a full page) in a big newspaper plus a later LA Times article seem enough to me. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:02, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
