Sam Conn[edit]

Non-notable person. Suspected autobiography, article is primarily a rant at previous employer. Article has no citations. Uncle Milty (talk) 13:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, if the awards (notablity) can be referenced and the rant against the employer is removed. Needs a serious re-write, though. TrulyBlue (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The current article is too thoroughly biased by its autobiographical nature. Since the subject seems to be notable, perhaps a posting at requested articles can elicit a neutral biography. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is not even a year mentioned for his awards. If the author can't prove the Awards, delete the article. If he can prove them, the article has to be shortened and cleaned. I removed parts of the "bad bad CBS7" -bashing. Oh and he is not mentioned in IMDB, I found his (or the author's) claim to appear in Silverado rather irritating.--Stanzilla (talk) 14:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, If the awards can be referenced I don't doubt notability. Regarding Silverado, the role may not have been credited hence the lack of a IMDB entry, but the broadcasting awards would be sufficient for notability.Gandygatt (talk) 22:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sam seems likable enough to buy him lunch, but this is pure autobiography / resume / vanity territory. Not encyclopedia territory. --Lockley (talk) 05:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have worked in several markets with Sam in here in the Southwest. He is very popular out here. The Roswell Daily Record (newspaper) did a feature on him and his horse that was in "Silverado". I remember seeing it sometime in 1985. Had a bunch of pictures. Texas Monthly also had a deal on him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aubreylaughlin (talk • contribs) — Aubreylaughlin (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Strongest of keeps per this search. Notability is definitely here. Article requires WP:CLEANUP not deletion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:02, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alas, nay, try "sam conn" instead. For your search you get every possible conn like in connecticut and every sam around.--Stanzilla (talk) 17:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
