I think he may be notable, but this is pure promotion, starting with the long quote in the lede paragraph. DGG ( talk ) 05:29, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've largely cleaned out the promotional puffery and sourced the Emmy nomination. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've improved the article and there's just enough coverage from various outlets to where he would pass notability guidelines. It still needs work, but it should be much better than its initial puffy state. On a side note, I'd like to warn that there are a few Schmidts out there that will give some false positives. (Our Schmidt, for example.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:22, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Tokyogirl79's edits. Not very notable but enough to pass wp:GNG Neonchameleon (talk) 14:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sources have been provided. The article now shows enough coverage to pass GNG. Alex^{discussion ★} 16:22, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
