article fails to assert why this radio personality is notable. Lacks 3rd party verifiable references. Rtphokie (talk) 12:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment There were some references there, they were just added incorrectly, this has been fixed. I'd considered withdrawing this AFD but I'd like to get other editors opinions on this article. The references that are there are either in the local paper, are self published (in the case of the wrestling blog) or are from a sports blog. Is this radio personality known outside of Pittsburgh? Are there better references available to establish his notability?--Rtphokie (talk) 12:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The blog sources are certainly questionable, but since they only document factual information, it shouldn't be too hard to replace them. Even if he is not known outside of Pittsburgh, he can be a notable figure in Pittsburgh radio and thus warrant an article. The question is whether he has reliable articles written about him. He does have several articles, such as this little number, which are notable. Thus, I would say he's notable enough for inclusion. 83.203.183.112 (talk) 13:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, not only a big name in Pittsburgh radio, but was a host on nationally broadcast ESPN radio. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment reference?--Rtphokie (talk) 15:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep Seems to have well more than enough establish notability. I'm not about to ignore his off-radio jobs. SashaNein (talk) 18:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep Could probably use some additional references, but they shouldn't be hard to find. National TV personality, national radio show host - they'll be out there. Mlaffs (talk) 01:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
