Delete I'm not finding anything that rises to the level of notability. I checked the San Diego newspaper and found only one minor article [1]. There are self-created social media sites, and a youtube video of a TV appearance that was part of his job. It is plausible, also, that this is autobiographical, given the single-purpose account with the name "Zkrick" (e.g. "zoo keeper rick") that is responsible for most of the content.

Delete for now unfortunately as I found nothing better than some usual News links. SwisterTwister talk 06:08, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep his contributions to the San Diego Zoo are notable and he has made notable appearances. I found an interview of him on NPR which is a very notable news radio program: [2] and [3]. If it helps I can add this to the references on his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djhero2099 (talk • contribs)

Delete. A couple of mentions and some TV appearances don't make for notability. Drmies (talk) 00:13, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
