Keep -- Subject of at least two nontrivial RS. Profiled in Washington Post and WCVB thing, not to mention won Boston/NE Emmy Award. Thus meets GNG. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WCVB is not an independent source, as the person works for them. Also, Regional Emmys, such as Boston/NE, have long been recognized as an insufficient rationale for inclusion. Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 21:13, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
