Subject does not quality for inclusion on Wikipedia under GNG or JOURNALIST. He's merely one of many, many local US news/sport on-air talents. Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 19:30, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Under nominator’s reasoning, all local anchors should be deleted, no matter how large the market and if they are the lead anchor in their department. Note this from article (goes to notability, in my opinion) “In 2012, the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association named Lynch Massachusetts Sportscaster of the Year. This was the sixteenth time Lynch received this award, more than any other sportscaster in the history of the award.[4][5]”MensanDeltiologist (talk) 00:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Massachusetts Sportscaster of the Year, not national. Also, these awards are a dime a dozen, and are often the result of corruption (not implying this is the case here, but it's not unheard of). Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 21:30, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete almost all local sports casters are non-notable. We need much better sourcing to show such. Dime a dozen state x person y of year award does not show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:42, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The SNG for TV news anchors is somewhat restrictive, and there's no way it's met here. I don't see enough coverage for GNG, either in the listed references or in a Google search. The Boston Magazine interview is better than nothing, but is local and a primary source. The Phillips Exeter alumni magazine and his paid-speaking profile are not better than nothing for meeting GNG. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:52, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
